How to Cope with Societal Pressure
CYMI MENTORSHIP DEVOTIONAL – Tuesday, 8th November 2022
SCRIPTURE: Luke 12:7 KJV
[7] But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
FAITH DECLARATION– The Lord is the strength of my life.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Societal pressure can come in many forms. It could be the pressure to gain admission for a particular course of study in the university, to graduate, to get a job, to get married, to have kids of a specific sex, to achieve or attain some things at a certain age, etc.
All of the above pressures can lead to anxiety if not properly managed. Societal pressure has always been in existence. In scripture, Hannah was mocked by Peninnah over her inability to have a child. This made Hannah miserable and sad.
Have you ever faced a situation that made you feel like Hannah, afraid and sad? Perhaps you have been judged wrongly by others, so you lock up yourself away from the world and societal demands.
The good news is that God showed up for Hannah and He will show up for you.
ACTION
- Refuse to be anxious. God has your back. Luke 12:6
- Refuse to be afraid. Matthew 10:31
- Cast your cares and worries on the Lord. 1 Peter 5:7
- Believe that God will come through for you. Mark 10:52.
FURTHER STUDY: Mark 11:22-24
THE BLESSING
Every failure on the verge of success, walking in circles and hard labour with no result, ends in your life today in Jesus name. Your appointed time will not be postponed and your divine visions will not be aborted. Today God is sending help to you. He will raise you up. God will draw divine and angelic attention to you in Jesus name. Amen. Hallelujah
