When God allows life to pressure and stress you instead of resisting or retreating (drinking, smoking, sex) try meditation and prayer to ask God what's the purpose of the pressure is. Why? A prayerful response to pressure always brings clarity and vision. Trying to resist or handle the pressure yourself leads to anxiety, irritability and helplessness. Allow God to re-direct you (via pressure) when your natural instincts send you off course. HIS vision is better than ours!
Having relationship with God allows you to have faith when life's pressure arise (money, love, job, family problems). Utilize God to help you see (I'm talking immediately) what he wants you to do (even if it means waiting). Relaxing and realizing that God will never let you down allows you to have peace of mind even while the fire burns. Fire can destroy or refine. A relationship with God will allow you to always be refined in the end. Fire is needed to burn away the impurities, inflated ego, and self-reliance. Ultimately, you will be improved.
Hey, you want success right? Then stay prayerful, accept that God controls all things (not us) and allow the pressure to refine, improve and guide you towards a greater destination that you could have sailed alone. From experience, I still stress over finances, life, etc. from time to time but remembering that I'm not in control and recounting God's 100% success rate in providing for me-especially in times of fire- allows me to relax and focus on where he is sending me.
Moral: If you're stressed today- stop stressing, start praying and realize that life will always have ups and downs. Enjoy the ride, embrace the journey and let God lead while you accept the process that will improve provide you with greater power to influence and impact the world. Sometimes pain and pressure produce your greatest work! I don't know about you but I only connect with speakers, musicians, and helpers who have experienced pain and can RELATE to mine.
What times in your life have you found a benefit to pressure? Did it produce more personal power?
