It is all in the Head!

The Reality of Stress

Have you noticed that wherever you turn, you are always late? Even the TV and radio ask you to “call now”! Now look at what happens in the office, mostly in the cybersecurity world; not only you are always late but the pressure to make sure the system is running and fully secured is constant due to the multiple threats! Now, let us get at home; you have your family to take care of with all the challenges they face and the support they need – more stress coming your way.  

All this stress is located in your head and needs to be controlled very closely as it may affect all the aspects of your life. The stress control is not done with medication! It is done with God!

No medication but God!

Psalms 41:10 (NKJV) says the following: “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”

God is ordering us to be still. He has the power to take care of all our concerns and issues. We do not have to build mountains of stress in our heads. We just have to let God do what He does best: take care of us!

The Power of God’s Yoke

And God continues in Matthew 11:30 (NKJV): “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” This means that if we are His followers, we will have an easy path with less burden! God is our principal partner and we are blessed that He is also the creator and the founder of the Universe. Who’s yoke, if not His is the best? Therefore, why do we have to stress if we are with God?

Call for action

As you see, to battle stress successfully, we just need to give our lives to Christ. In all that we do and go through, the first thing to do is to submit the situation to God, stand still and see God work for us. This does not mean that we should not do anything, it means we should trust in God and not take all the load upon us! My experience through my long career in the stressful world of cybersecurity is a clear testimony of this! I always put any situation, be it smooth or stressful in the hands of Christ and immediately, I felt restful and at peace. No medication can give you that peace. Only God can!

So, as you work in this stressful world, always make sure God is your partner. The yoke of the world is harsh but His yoke is gentle!

God bless you!
