Your Priorities
Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you. (Psalm 9:10 NLT)
Taking that time to pray and commit your work to the Lord is the best way in the world to alleviate pressure. It’s like opening the pressure valve of your spirit.
As you commit your ways and your work to Him, the Lord can show you what your priorities should be. He can give you tips on how to get them done most effectively and efficiently.
He can help you avoid many of the time-wasting problems that put you under pressure by reminding you of things you have forgotten or overlooked or had no other way of knowing.
He’ll also cause His love to come shining through, no matter what you need to do. That can go further than almost anything in lightening your load and brightening the lives of those around you.
If you learn to let Jesus take over more of your life and work, and thus bear more of the load, you’ll find that things will run faster and more smoothly and efficiently. It could change your life! —M. Fontaine [1]
We will never be entirely free from fear and worries. What matters is that, in the midst of my concerns, I can look up to God and feel at least the desire for trust within me. —Anselm Grün
