Don’t Let Pressure Make Your Decisions
Pressure makes people sloppy.
We say things we shouldn’t.
Agree to things we regret.
Choose speed over wisdom just to get relief.
Scripture cautions us plainly:
“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”
— Proverbs 21:5
Pressure always demands an immediate answer.
Wisdom rarely does.
Jesus was never rushed by urgency.
Crowds pressed Him.
Needs surrounded Him.
But He moved with intention, not panic.
A rushed decision might feel like relief,
but it often creates more weight down the road.
You’re allowed to pause.
You’re allowed to pray.
You’re allowed to say, “I need time.”
That’s not weakness.
That’s discipline.
Today’s Practice
Before making a decision today, pause.
Ask: Am I choosing this because it’s right—or because I want the pressure to stop?
Choose wisely.
Closing Prayer
Lord, slow me down when pressure pushes me to act too fast.Help me choose obedience over urgency. Teach me to trust You in the waiting. Amen.
