Fight Giant Despair!
"The Lord God of your fathers
has spoken to you; do not
fear or be discouraged."
Deuteronomy 1: 21
It’s natural
to become discouraged, but it’s
unhealthy to stay that way. Satan loves to
utilize the giant of discouragement to cast
down our faith and progress.
If Despair has you in his dungeon today,
remember you have the keys to
escape.
It’s inside your Bible, found in one of the
hundreds of promises God has given you.
You can claim Joshua 1:9, which says,
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be
afraid; do not be discouraged, for the
Lord your God will be with you
wherever you go”
.Discouragement is the temptation to evaluate
your momentary
circumstances apart from the
overarching plan of God for your life. God is a
God of encouragement.
As soon as you become discouraged, cry out to
Him in prayer and ask for His help. God wants to
hear your prayers, even when discouraged. He'll
answer and bring encouragement to your heart.
"Discouragement can be defeated only when
the full truth of everything that is for us confronts
and conquers the half-truth of fear and despair."
