Stress and pressure are part of our life. Jesus has given some clear things about how we can deal with it.

God doesn't intend us to live that way.

Everyone experiences times of pressure, difficult, distress. When we're in pain, out thinking is affected, we tend to lose perspective, then isolate, & turn to false comforts. The enemy of our soul likes to torment us, but God is a God of Comfort. We can position ourselves to experience great comfort in times of distress. Learn how to experience the comfort of God, & the reality of His presence.

Ten Commandments - Foundations for Success (6 sermons)
Am I me, regardless of what I'm producing; or is my entire life and worth defined by the number of bricks I can make? Is God still the creator, even when He's resting? The Sabbath is a day where you live like your work is done, even if it isn't - and that is healing. The world goes on, because God is God, and you are not. The supply of everything I need, is as close to me as the air that I'm breathing, I just need to stop and become aware of that. God wants to marry you, leaven & all. No matter what you've done, He is determined to make it right for you - that is what the 10 Commandments are all about. Its Grace, its God giving people something that they did not earn or deserve, its welcome to being human again.
