In both of these cases, God understands and supports you as His own child. He understands after you have rebelled and are now ready to return to Him as the prodigal son did in Luke 15.

We are all under pressure to work faster and more efficiently in order to provide for ourselves and our families. Yes, most of us are highly stressed, but shouldn't we move the emphasis to highly blessed? If your focus is on the great things God has provided for you, it is easier…
