Discouragement is a weapon that Satan uses to destroy any happiness you have in your life. It leads to resentment, bitterness, and self-pity, none of which will bring you closer to Jesus. If the devil can separate you from God, then he wins. So he's always looking for anything he can to keep you focused on the negative side of life. When you feel the heat from the flames of discouragement creeping in, immediately cry out to Jesus and ask Him to stomp them out. Don't give the devil reason to gloat because he caused you even one minute of distress. Instead, give your burdens to Jesus. Remember, you are a child of God, King of the universe. Instead of bathing in self-pity, bask in the light of God's presence, asking Him to give you an extra measure of His joy. You don't have to fight the battle alone; Jesus is on your side and is ready to lift you up and set you free.
Romans 8:28 KJV - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 KJV - For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.
Isaiah 40:31 KJV - But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 KJV - And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
