Job 26:10 (MSG) He draws the horizon out over the ocean, sets a boundary between light and darkness.
Stress comes when we feel out of control. Who has control over you? Of course, we have the law, or the board, or our workplace supervisor. What DO you have control over that affects the quality of your life? If your company goes through a financial downturn, there are things you may not be able to control but there are things that you can do: meet with contributors, talk through possibilities, bring on more volunteers. God grant me the courage to change the things I can change, surrender the things I can’t control, and give me wisdom to know the difference. What about internal controls? Others don’t control your emotions, reactions, or how you think about yourself. You can set good boundaries. Mitigate stress by doing what you can, releasing others to do what they can, and then trusting God with the rest.
