         Pressure is something that builds up slowly and becomes greater with time. It can become so great that it can cause an explosion. But it starts out slowly, and if you let Me bear the weight and carry the burdens in the beginning, it can stay small and manageable. For although you have to carry many responsibilities, if you give these cares and responsibilities to Me, I will carry them for you and I will help you to shoulder them.
         Pressure is from the Enemy, and it is he that causes the press on your spirit and the feeling of discouragement. He tries to make you worry and look at the load and the work. Even though the work and the load are there, I have called you, chosen you, ordained you and anointed you to be able to carry it, and I will not give you more than you can bear. So even though the load is great and the deadlines are before you and there is much to do, you have to resist the Enemy's temptation to feel under too much pressure.
         Resist his spirit of pressure by continually casting your cares upon Me. Release the pressure by looking up to Me. For when the load is great, I give a greater anointing. When the to-do list grows longer and longer, I give more grace. When the deadlines grow closer, I give a greater anointing. All this will I give unto you, and more, if you will continue to look to Me and cast your burdens on Me. Cast on Me every care, every worry, every question, every thought, every concern, every load.
