Keep Your Head
When life goes out of control, it’s hard to keep your head. Uncertainty leads to panic rather than patience.
Keep your head means to remain calm.
Although everything around you falls apart at the seams, you don’t. Instead, you find calm in the middle of the storms.
Keep your head does not mean you never feel stressed.
With so much turmoil in the world today, stress affects everyone. Daily news bombards us with updates on:
- Wars
- Price increases
- Abuse
- Disasters
- Crime
Everything goes haywire. Yet you find personal control in the worst of it.
Rather than give in to problems, get a grip on solutions.
As a former teacher often said, “Think. Just think.” Apply the good sense God gave you.
Choose:
- Faith over fear
- Hope over despair
- Peace over pressure
- Calm in chaos
“But you, keep your head in all situations” (2 Timothy 4:5 NIV).

Great advice for today’s world.
We are definitely experiencing a lot of chaos, aren’t we, Tracy? I pray you enjoy a calm, stress-free day.
Such great advice, Diana, but I just had one of those days when I had to do lots of praying so that I wouldn’t lose my head. That’s one reason I’m so late getting back to you. Hope you understand and thanks for commenting on my blog today. Blessings!
I totally understand, Martha. We all have those days and need to do just what you did–pray. I hope tomorrow is a better day!
I think, no matter our age, experience, and wisdom, we need to remember and appply this directive, “Keep Your Head.” There are always tines when circumstances tend to make us “lose our head.” Thanks for this wise and thoughtful message, Diana.
Thank you, Katherine. You are so right that we need to remember this regardless of our age, experience, and wisdom. I’m so thankful for Jesus’ peace and presence in this frequently overwhelming life.
