Overcoming Discouragement

“And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.” 1 Samuel 30:6.

Discouragement means lack of courage to continue. Devil knows that he cannot stop you from achieving your goals unless he sowed the seed of discouragement; and he also knows that God does not work with a discouraged person. Devil is yet to find an answer to someone who is determined and persistent; so when he comes with discouragement you have got to find a reason to pick up your courage back. The Bible says YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS and ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE if you believe.

A business woman once had problems with her business because many owed her. One of the debtors asked her to come one day to collect a significant amount but on getting to the debtor, the person could not pay as promised. The woman became hurt and discouraged to the extent that she started crying when she got home. God opened her eyes and she saw some demons rejoicing; immediately she jumped up, wiped her tears and started making positive confessions and singing to encourage herself.

Beloved, you will get there but pick up your courage because a discouraged person will be stranded.
Have a nice day.
