What The World Can’t Take Away

The headlines don't let up.

Another conflict. Another tragedy. Another reason to feel afraid, angry, or overwhelmed.

You scroll for just a few minutes and suddenly your heart's racing. The news weighs heavy. The world feels darker. And peace feels out of reach.

Maybe you've felt it this week too—that low, anxious hum just beneath the surface. That fear for your children, for your future, for where all of this is going.

And in the middle of all the noise and fear and division, you quietly whisper, "Lord, what's happening to this world?"

But here's what I'm learning to do in these moments:

Not ignore the pain. Not numb out. But turn my heart back to the only One who is not shaken.

Jesus never promised that the world would make sense. He never guaranteed ease. But He did promise this:

"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart—I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)

That's not just comfort. That's truth. And it's the truth we anchor to when fear tries to speak louder than faith.

Because this broken world is not our home. And no headline, no election, no global event, no storm—nothing—can undo what Christ has secured for us.

He is still on the throne. He is still with us.

And His peace isn't dependent on what's happening out there—it's alive and present in here, right now, in your heart, in your home, in your chaos.

Much Love & Blessings,

Ramzi

What's Inspiring Me This Week…

Pray First Challenge by Andrew F Carter - A 60-day prayer journey covering faith, family, fitness, finances, and future. His message that "consistent prayer life is the secret to a powerful prayer life" is exactly what I needed to hear in this season of seeking God's direction. Check it out here!

Family Corner – Prayer Before Headlines

Turn down the volume of the news and turn up the presence of God. Start the day with prayer before you check the headlines. Let your family see you anchored in truth before you engage with the world's chaos.

Relationship Insight – Choose Peace Over Panic

When fear or frustration rise in conversation, choose peace over panic. Say, "Let's pray about it," instead of spiraling deeper into worry. Your calm can become contagious in the best way.

Mental Health Minute – Guard Your Peace

Not everything you see needs your mental energy. Guard your peace like you would guard your children. Let Christ filter the noise before your thoughts do. You have permission to limit your news intake.

Financial Wisdom – Your Provider Doesn't Shift

Yes, the economy shifts. But your Provider doesn't. Build your plans with wisdom—and your trust with eternity in mind. Stewardship includes stewarding your peace about provision.

Physical Health – Anxious Bodies Need Calm Souls

Anxious bodies often come from anxious minds. Step outside. Breathe deeply. Remind your soul: "God is still in control, and I don't have to carry it all." Your body will respond to what your spirit believes.

P.S. When the world feels overwhelming, remember: you weren't designed to carry global burdens. You were designed to rest in global promises. He's got this—and He's got you.

The best HR advice comes from those in the trenches. That’s what this is: real-world HR insights delivered in a newsletter from Hebba Youssef, a Chief People Officer who’s been there. Practical, real strategies with a dash of humor. Because HR shouldn’t be thankless—and you shouldn’t be alone in it.
