It is in the pressure that we must remember the Lord

* Luís Alberto Alves

Can you withstand pressure? Whether at work, marriage, college or even in ministry? When all is well it is easy to believe in the power of Jesus Christ. But the bad day comes for all of us. It shakes our structures. Unfortunately, few Christians remain loyal to the Lord.

There are cases of people giving up walking. They throw everything aloft, claiming that God left them alone. They were Christians in the good times, especially of peace and happiness and in the opposite moment they jumped of the boat of the Lord, to return to the trash of ondem left.

Pressures will always exist. It is wrong to imagine that we will grow up in an atmosphere of extreme harmony and happiness. Utopia. We will only have total peace in Heaven. As long as we are fighting in this dark world, we will only have fierce fighting.

So my brothers, it's time for you to raise your head and keep moving toward the target. Do not let the darkness sow in your mind that was left alone. Jesus Christ will never abandon his son. You will always be on our side.
