When life is tiring, when you are struggling with your sin, When family members aren’t a saved, when bills aren’t paid, When school is difficult, When work is exhausting, When your health is failing, When your loved ones hurt, When the future is unsure, When a good friend leaves.. It is easy to be discouraged.
Discouragement is a thief. It steals your vitality, your zeal, your joy, your peace, and your contentment.
When discouragement is present, it brings along some other friends namely: fatigue, hopelessness, despair, self-pity, depression, bitterness, doubt.
Discouragement is dissatisfaction with the past, distaste for the present, and distrust for the future. It is the result of blindness, or being myopic. It is ingratitude for the blessings of yesterday, indifference to the opportunities of today and insecurity regarding strength for tomorrow. It is unawareness of the presence of God, unconcern for the needs of our fellow man, and unbelief in the promises of His word.
We need hope and peace and the knowledge that the Lord knows our troubles and He has great concern and compassion for us and He is not going to leave us unloved and uncared for.
•Keeping or fixing your eyes on Jesus is the best way to be encouraged. In Him alone you can find encouragement and hope and peace and Joy!
•You need to find His words, promises..
•Find comfort and peace and encouragement in God alone.
