Handling stress at work
An ICM survey showed that 72% of people enjoy their jobs. Yes, they complain about them, but they also like them.

The Bible tells us that work is good because God is a worker and we are made in his image (Genesis 1.26,27). So, being productive in some way, whether it is at home as a mother, in voluntary work or in paid employment, is part of what it is to be a balanced human being. If we have our usefulness curtailed through illness or redundancy, we feel diminished as people.
