Discouragement is an inner emotional feeling. This feeling may come from feeling sad, or from being discouraged or you may feel depressed because you feel like there is no hope. Discouragement may come due to personal circumstances and personal problems, or perhaps it's something that is beyond your control and that it is causing a downward depression in your life. To begin to deal with discouragement, we first need to ask God in prayer to forgive us for our sins. 1 John 1:9, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Psalms, 051:012 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Pray and confess your problems and cares to the Lord. Pray and ask God to give you the strength to overcome or endure the hardship you're going through. Let God's Word help give you strength to over come your discouragement. Read and meditate on God's word. For more help consult a Christian counselor or pastor. Begin to fellowship with other church members and other Christians. |
