We can be free from stress or we can be filled with stress and fear and never be free. As born-again believers, a divine power resides in our souls. We have the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God dwelling in us. It is our choice whether we use these resources or not. The Spirit's filling only comes when we let God govern our listening habits, imparting to our memories brand new inspirational capacities for divine reality that will be needed in future trials of our faith.
Promotion never comes without trials.
Promotion goes to those who are treated unjustly and yet never verbalize, communicate, or react in negativity. They understand that fellowship with the power of resurrection and the fellowship with His sufferings make them conformed to His truth. Many believers cannot keep still under such testing, because without humility and meekness, there is no provision for the transfer of doctrine into the soul. There isn't anything we need more than God's mercies and compassions to get us through the day as we face the trials of our faith. Promotion will not come as a matter of course.
