What to Do When Your Soul Is Downcast
In the midst of life's relentless pace, leaders often find their souls weighed down by the pressure of balancing professional demands and personal commitments. Drawing insight from Psalm 42, this piece emphasizes the power of introspective questioning and speaking truth to oneself, offering a framework to navigate internal chaos. By anchoring identity in something greater than immediate outcomes, leaders can cultivate resilience and clarity, ultimately transforming their approach to challenges both in business and life.
George B. Thomas
Life doesn't come with an intermission. Neither does business. You're juggling deadlines, leading teams, balancing family, and chasing dreams; somewhere in that hustle, the pressure gets heavy. It sneaks in during quiet moments or in the middle of a meeting when your mind should be focused, but your heart feels... off.
Heavy. Distant. Maybe even hopeless.
It's in these moments that an ancient voice echoes through time. "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?" That's Psalm 42:11, and whether or not you're used to looking to Scripture, this verse offers something more than a spiritual warm blanket.
