And maybe it's a hard thing to hear.

Maybe it's a hard thing to talk about.

But maybe the reason that God is allowing the pressure in your life is so that you keep leaning on him and not yourself.

Because every time you lean on yourself, you blow your whole freaking life up.

And maybe if he didn't allow the pressure, you wouldn't need God in the first place.

And God is so jealous.

He's willing to allow pressure in your life that keeps you humble and reliant on him.

That's why Paul, who wrote the book of joy in prison, says, hey, cast all of your anxieties on the Lord.

Trust him with the things that he can be trusted with.

Well, why would I trust Jesus?

Because he's proven himself of being trustworthy.

On the cross, living the life.

You know, that's my biggest issue with Muslims right now.

As Muslims always want to say, show me in the Bible where Jesus says, I am God, worship me.

Jesus is far bigger as a God than the God of the Quran because he's not one that just tells you to worship him.

He shows you why he's worthy of worship.

He is worthy of being trusted.

He's worthy of being loved.

Through his life and his actions, he has deemed himself one worthy of falling on your face and knees and saying, God, I trust you with this thing.

So maybe your but God shouldn't be, but God, why are you allowing this to happen to me?
