discouragement

I think everyone and fought discouragement at some point in their life. Unless, they are amazingly sure of themselves.  

The dictionary defines discourage as: to deprive of courage, hope, or confidence; dishearten; dispirit. So Discouragement is the state of being deprived of courage, hope or confidence, a state of disheartened. I feel this way a lot.  I constantly comparing myself to other people and ability. (yes, i know that I am not suppose to do that but I do!) This is honestly NOT how God wants me to live.  Everyone gets discouraged at some point  in their live. There are things and issues that we all have.

Psalm 39:7 "but now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.


Most of the the time when I get discouraged it is because I am looking to myself and not God

psalm 42:5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, My savior...

Even though I may be discouraged I still have to put my hope in God and praise Him, because " He is the author and finisher of my faith"

Psalm 119:49 Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.

God has given us promises and we have cling on the them and keep praying them.  Proclaiming them over our lives. 

If you feel like sharing leave a comment and I will be praying for you over your discouragement.
