“Have you ever wondered why God goes to the trouble of sanctifying us? He could instantly zap us into His image the moment we decide to follow Jesus, or He could transport us into heaven the moment of our conversion. Why would He opt for taking us through the long, drawn-out process of planting, watering, pruning, and harvesting? But sure enough, He rolls up His sleeves, puts palms to the dirt, and begins putting the pieces of our lives together in a way that matters.”

“The greater truth was that God was present in those situations; God was in the room before I walked in, and God would guide me. I did not, in fact, need to know what to say. The more I depended on needing to say the right thing, the less effective I was as a chaplain. I was managing my own anxiety rather than paying attention to God.”
― Steve Cuss, Managing Leadership Anxiety: Yours and Theirs

“Once I was able to name and manage the internal and external pressure to “do something,” I could enter a room and pay attention to what that family actually needed.”

“I believe leadership anxiety is generated when we think we need something in any particular moment that we don’t actually need.”
