When we are under pressure, we often look to coping mechanisms to ease our pain, gain control over our circumstances, or find temporary relief in our anxiety. Sadly, many of the ways we try to relieve the pressure often just make things worse. They cannot bring us the relief, comfort and peace that we are hoping for. When we trust God and do what He asks us to do, the Spirit gives us what we need to not only cope, but overcome the pressures we are feeling.
