Dealing with pressure of life

You from This is Our Time by Planetshakers


This song had been running though my mind for the whole night till this morning. I didn't listen to any Planetshakers song last night but somehow the lyrics of the song just appeared in my mind.

You came from Heaven, gave up Your throne
Now and forever, Your blood redeeming
Death overwhelmed by the power of Your name Jesus
Now You be exalted, You be adored
Now and forever, You’re all surpassing
All will declare the power of Your name Jesus

I had been so busy since last weeks. I didn't had enough rest and I had to travel to KL to attend my CONVOCATION. I rested a bit while in KL but the journey had been so tiring that I haven't recovered from it.

When I get back to work yesterday, lots of work pouring in like mountains. Works is endless. I felt the tiredness in my body. Having to deal with work pressure and pressure from my family members, I felt so tired and burn out. I felt life is so meaningless as I had to go through the same routine each day and that's life. I don't like this kind of lifestyle and I wanted to have a breakthrough. 
 

This morning as I woke up, part of the song kept appearing in my mind. I believe declaration had to be make in my life and by Jesus, I'm free. I had the victory to overcome daily stress and pressure. I not longer had to rely on my own strength but His. I need to set my priorities right and focus on Jesus.

This is an awesome verse as a reminder!

So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
Romans 12:1 MSG
