Psalm 42:9-10 NLT
“O God my rock,” I cry,
“Why have you forsaken me?
Why must I wander in darkness, oppressed
by my enemies?” Their taunts pierce me like
a fatal wound. They scoff, “Where is this
God of yours?”
Psalm 42:11 NLT
Why am I discouraged? Why so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise Him again – my Savior and my God!
Hebrews 10:25 NIV
Let us not give up meeting together,
as some are in the habit of doing,
but let us encourage one another…
1 Kings 19:2 NLT
So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah:
“May the gods also kill me if by this time tomorrow I have failed to take your life like those whom you killed.”
Three steps to overcoming
Discouragement
1. Stand against it
2. Identify the cause
3. Use God’s strategy or plan
Psalm 34: 1-5 NLT
I will praise the LORD at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. I will boast only in the LORD; let all who are discouraged take heart. Come, let us tell of the LORD’s greatness; let us exalt his name together.
Psalm 34: 1-5 NLT
I prayed to the LORD, and He answered me, freeing me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
