Dealing with Pressure

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”‭‭ Romans‬ ‭12:12‬ ‭NIV‬‬  

The word “affliction” in this scripture essentially means “pressure”.  

The pressure in your life is no joke.

It is intense right now.

How do can you deal with it?

1. Spend your energy pursuing hope.

2. Don’t quit when things get hard.  

3. Spend more time in the presence of God than the presence of fear.

If you must work on something my friend, work on keeping your heart filled with the wonder and expanse of God’s love while letting Jesus bear the pressure of the day. He is stronger than you are and made for it.
