Enough in Him
(Day 11 – 2 Mar, Monday)
“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” Hebrews 1:10-12
Last year, the relentless pressure of working on the trading floor finally caught up with me. What began as mental exhaustion soon became a physical crisis that landed me in hospital. Even after I was discharged and returned to my desk, I was gripped by unease and anxiety.
In those difficult days, I prayed constantly. Then one day, a thought settled in my heart with striking clarity: “Jesus is King, and He takes care of me.”
That truth gave me the courage to make what felt like a radical decision—to step away from my “branded” job and take time to reset my mind and body.
During five months of rest and renewal, I immersed myself in God’s Word. As I slowed down, my eyes were opened anew to the beauty of His creation.
In the quiet, God began to dismantle a lifelong struggle with perfectionism and the need to over-achieve.
While I had been exhausted trying to sustain my own world, I discovered rest in the One who is already enthroned. I was no longer afraid to walk away from career status and recognition, because I was reminded that Christ’s throne endures forever. The garments of this world will wear out, but He remains the same (Hebrews 1:11–12).
Months later, I began a new career journey—one marked by healthier rhythms and a supportive work environment. Now, I still have energy for my family at the end of each workday. That is priceless.
Today, I walk in peace. I rest in His abundance, knowing that because He remains unchanging, I do not need to prove myself.
In Him, I am enough.
