When trouble comes knocking, our first impulse ought to be - pray.
I have seen my share of people suffering, living with intense pressure as life falls in on them. Some blame their hard times on others. Some blame God. I have seen some people go to pieces emotionally and others fall apart physically. But I have also seen believers take their burdens and lay them down at the foot of the cross. In so doing, they found peace that truly is beyond comprehension... His peace, the peace of Christ (Philippians 4:6-7).
God invites us to Himself, saying,
Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me. - Psalm 50:15
In the New Testament, Peter reminded us that
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers. - 1 Peter 3:12
What, then, should people dealing with pressure do? Pray!
