Psalm 37:7
"Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes."
An office can be a noisy place. The shrill ringing of the telephone, the beeping of the fax machine, the dinging of the computer's e-mail program, the shrieking of the paper shredder, and the demanding voice of one's boss all contribute to on-the-job tension. Some days the administrative assistant, be it secretary, receptionist, loan processor, title researcher, or clerk, becomes the recipient of criticism and complaints from customers and supervisors alike. These days, one needs a break.
A few moments with God are a wonderful stress reliever. Whether one takes a walk, hides in the lunchroom, or rests one's head on a cluttered desk, a quick, quiet prayer puts everything back into perspective. The knowledge that God is always there soothes like a deep. refreshing breath. A hundred years from now, it won't matter how many folders were filed today. But God will still be there.
The stress of modern-day life is no match for quiet faith. By Robin Bayne
