Week 24: Staying Positive Under Pressure

“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9 (CSB)

Pressure is a part of life and ministry, but how we respond to it can make all the difference. Staying positive under pressure doesn’t mean ignoring challenges but choosing to trust God’s presence and faithfulness in the midst of them. A resilient mindset allows us to remain hopeful and focused on His promises.

This week, let’s reflect on how we can maintain a positive spirit even during high-pressure moments, trusting that God is with us every step of the way.

For musicians, pressure often comes during rehearsals or live services when timing, transitions, or technical aspects need to go smoothly. Focus on worshiping through the pressure, remembering that God is the reason for your service, not perfection.

For the tech team, pressure may arise from last-minute adjustments, equipment failures, or tight time constraints. Stay calm and positive by trusting in your preparation and the team’s ability to adapt. A steady demeanor inspires confidence in those around you.

  1. Personal Reflection: Pray for peace and positivity during moments of pressure in your role.

  2. Team Reflection: Share as a team one way you’ve seen positivity help overcome pressure in the past.

  3. Sunday Preparation:Commit to staying calm and positive during Sunday’s service, regardless of the circumstances.
