God Lifts the Pressure
The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.
Psalm 29:11, nkjv
Do you feel overwhelmed and smothered by pressure? Are you desperate for “breathing room”? Do you try to escape the stress through
an extended vacation,
therapeutic counseling,
alcohol,
drugs,
entertainment, or
a romantic liaison. . .
only to find when you stop to assess your condition you are no better than you were before, because the pressure is from within?
Only God has the power to lift the pressure from within you. Your circumstances may remain the same, but He has the power to give you breathing room. He can give your spirit peace and rest, even as He gives your life a new dimension. Just ask Him.

What are the secrets to a life of impact? Daniel achieved greatness in the eyes of his contemporaries, in the eyes of history, and most importantly, in the eyes of God. His faith did not waver as he faced his critics, as he served new kings in power, or even as he confronted hungry lions. How can we achieve that kind of faith today? Twenty intentional, key choices made all the difference. Daniel’s choices can be ours, such as:
• The choice to listen
• The choice to forgive
• The choice to pray
