Under pressure

I can be a high stress person, I often feel under a lot of pressure for school and worry that God gets pushed away when I’m under that pressure. Then there’s the pressure from peers, the questions as to why I make the choices to not drink or go out on a Thursday night. My bible study talked about how we sometimes wish we were different people or had different qualities even though we know God made us and loves us the way we are. I sometimes wish I cared less, that I didn’t let the pressure get to me and cause stress. But I realized that that the more pressure I endure the more I rely and turn to God. The more I can rejoice in how amazing he is, and even in times where it doesn’t seem like it, no matter what, my life is amazing because I have faith in God. Faith is the greatest power of all, with it I am equipped to make it through all the pressure placed on me and can look to God and continuously say thank you.
