Endurance
Carried, not crushed
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair.”
Pressure is not proof of abandonment. Being troubled and being held can be true at once.
One practice
Name what is pressing, and one way you have been carried.
Peace Challenge
Peace Challenge: tell one trusted person how you really are.
Prayer
God, I am pressed but not alone. Hold me steady.
