Discouragement

Do you sometimes find it difficult to focus on God? Do you get discouraged when things don’t turn out the way you thought they would?

There have been many times in my Christian walk when I’ve felt like giving up. There have been roads I’ve traveled, and ended up on a dead-end street. My best advice in times like these is to open up your Bible and find God’s guidance.

You’ll not find the answers in alcohol. You’ll not find the remedies to solutions from your friend’s advice. There’s only one resource that’s never ending, life fulfilling, and that’s God’s Word.

God knows the heart of His children. Don’t let feelings of failure weigh you down. And don’t be surprised when the distractions of the world, or the wandering of your mind take your thoughts away from God.

Each time you persevere through trials and show God your faith in Him, you achieve victory in His eyes.

Discouragement is a temptation. It’s not to be tolerated and God does not want it to cause us to stumble. We are to fight it.

Don’t let your hearts be ruled by what you see, but what God promises.

Take off the first three and the last 4 letters of the word, “discouragement.” You’ll find courage!

This is the fight of our life. Don’t let discouragement have any room to grow in your garden of life. Find the courage to look for what God promises you in the world to come.

Psalm 147:3 - “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
