In our hustle-bustle world, we constantly feel pressure to do more, achieve more, fit in more. In the church world, we add our own pressure to be the “perfect Christian.” All together, it’s a recipe for stress and burnout and can cause us to distance ourselves from God.
But God doesn’t want that for us. His gift of salvation is free and full of love and grace. We don’t have to perform well or measure up to some ill-defined level of goodness to receive God’s promise of everlasting life with him. We just need to declare our belief in his son Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
God doesn’t want us to feel the need to conform to this world’s expectations. We can live differently knowing he is making everything new. He is our ever-present provider, always there to give comfort, peace, and joy. He just wants us to seek him and ask every day. No prayer is too small!
