Brethren, rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer ad supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Ad the peace of God, which passes al understanding, will keep your hearts ad you minds in Christ Jesus. Finally brethren, whatever is true , whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is ay excellence, if there is anything worth y of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard ad see in me, do: ad the God of peace will be with you.
This is especially difficult if you are difficult period, such as looking for work. It reminds me of another passage Matthew 6:28, about the lilies of the field not stressing where sunlight or food will come form. There are often two sides to everything. They may be stressing if someone steps on them, but we get the message. Being in a state of gratefulness, no matter what you are going through, is key. Be grateful for your health, or, if you dot' have it, nature, a beautiful memory, a friend.
This also reminds me of the appreciation of beauty in Greece, the fashion industry, etc. Some eastern philosophies believe that beauty shows an inner soul health or peace. On one hand, a person who is not beautiful by consensus, can be very beautiful inside. On the other, you glow if you are happy and peaceful inside.
Forgive yourself if you are angry or stressed (and you will again and again), process it, and get back on being centered.
