Start conversations (2 mins.) INFORMAL PREACHING. (lmd lesson 2 point 3).

Setting: During a break from work, the publisher initiates a dialogue with a colleague, focusing on work-related stress and the emotional well-being he or she experiences. He offers practical advice for managing tasks and stress, based on biblical principles.

Publisher: Hello, José, how are you? I notice you're a little sad today.

Assistant: Everything's fine, just a little stressed about work. There's a lot to do, and I don't know if I'll be able to do it all.

Publisher: I understand. Stress can be overwhelming. Have you tried any techniques to manage it? Sometimes, talking to someone can help find solutions.

Assistant: The truth is, I don't know what to do. I feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start.

Publisher: Well, there are several things you can try. One of them is prioritizing your tasks. Make a list of what you need to do and rank them by importance and urgency. This way, you can focus on what's truly important.

Did you know that the Bible helps us when we feel overwhelmed? It tells us in John 14:1, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Have faith in God, and have faith in me." Sometimes when we feel overwhelmed, we can find peace and tranquility.

Assistant: That's true. Sometimes I feel like I'm alone in this and can't handle it all.

Publisher: That is reasonable.

Assistant: And what about the workload?

Publisher: You could talk to our boss about delegating some tasks to other team members.

Assistant: I think you're right. Thanks for the advice.

Publisher: You are welcome.
