5 Ways for your capacity to increase
1. Our capacity increases, when we allow our bodies and minds to recover.
Exodus 20:9-10 GNB
9 You have six days in which to do your work, 10but the seventh day is a day of rest dedicated to me.
Hebrews 4:9-11NIV
9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest...

2. Our capacity increases when we know who we are.
Identity is not found in what you do; it’s found in who you belong to.
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

3. Our capacity increases when we know what we were made to do.

4. Our capacity increases when we are supported by others
Ecclesiastes 4:8-12 (NIV)
8 There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth 9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

5. Our capacity increases when God is helping us
The word prince in the Hebrew is Sar: The one in charge, Lord, chief, general.
Most of all of our stress just comes from ignoring God's principles. We have to seek him first.
