TURNING YOUR PRESSURE INTO PRAISE TO ENJOY THE JOURNEY
Scripture: Psalms 77:1-14
Title: Turning Your Pressure Into Praise to Enjoy the Journey
Text: Psalm 77:1-14
Author: Darrow Perkins
INTRODUCTION: Have you ever felt like the pressures of life were weighing you down on a daily basis? Do you feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of the situation and you don't seem to see a way out? Do you ever feel like you are trying to do this all by yourself and there doesn't seem to be any help in sight? I believe we all have or will find ourselves at this point in life and it's come to my attention that the best way to handle it is to recognize that:

When we begin to feel like the pressure is too much for us, we need to take a look at our attitude and just how we perceive the situation to be and take appropriate action as directed in the Word of God.
It's been said that your "attitude determines your altitude" and if that is the case, we can't let our so-called "doom and gloom" situations determine the outcome in our lives.

God prophesied that these days would come in 2 Timothy 3:1 which reads, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." Knowing that these days would come, it's not a matter of their arrival, but how we handle them that makes all the difference in the world. We know it's going to ...
