Hard Pressed

"When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; He brought me into a spacious place." -Psalm 118:5 (NIV)
When I used to work at a nature center, one of the popular fall programs was cider making.  To make cider, apples from the orchard would be washed and poured into the old-fashioned hand-cranked cider mill and press.  The apples would get ground up and the pieces would then be squeezed and the cider collected.  Like the Life has a way making us feel ground up and hard pressed.  

The pressures in our lives don't come from being squeezed in a cider mill.  The pressures we feel come from expectations at work, responsibilities at home, limited time or resources, or dealing with family situations, to name a few.  No matter the source of our struggles and pressures, the best thing we can do is turn to God.  When we turn our pressures and struggles over to Him, then we will feel the pressure being released as we enter His glorious, spacious place!

Don't let yourself get hard pressed, call to God and let Him take away your pressures!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for loving me and for Your willingness to hear me and help me.  Please take away the pressures that I am feeling and allow me to serve You better in the spacious place You provide for me.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
