Take the Pressure Off

Listen to the Podcast

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle Update.

The 40 Days of Teshuva are coming up soon starting on 8/27/22. Teshuva = turning or repenting. Teshuva is an amazing time of year for answered prayer and making adjustments. 

August is a time of increased heat and pressure. You may notice an increase in pressure in your life, especially in the area of time, where it seems like a lot of demands are coming at you. The pressure helps to remind us that in Christ, God has taken the pressure off of us. The increased pressure is a reminder to simplify and roll the pressure onto him. And we are supposed to be doing the same for other people. 

This week we are focused on connected with our families on a new level. An important concept I am learning for connection is... Pressure blocks connection.

As we focus on connecting with our families this week here is a great question to ask... Am I adding demands and pressure to my family members or taking pressure off of them?

The world is not lacking for people who will put demands and pressure on us. Therefore, it is very refreshing when someone takes the pressure off of you. Let's be people who refresh others by taking some pressure off of them, just like God does for us. But be careful that you don't absorb the pressure... Roll it over to God. It comes as an act of his grace. 

Here is this week's filter(reminder) to write at the top of our journals each day... Take the Pressure Off My Family

I am praying for you.
