Ps.119:164-165 (TPT) “I stop to praise you seven times a day, all because your ways are perfect! There is such a great peace and well-being that comes to the lovers of your word, and they will never be offended.”
The fourth question that helps us learn from discouragement is, where or what do I need to change?

Why, What & Where?
Isa.41:10 “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
Why are you currently discouraged? When you drill down, you will discover truths that can help you learn from your discouragements.

When & Why?
Ps.42:11 “Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Saviour and my God!”

When?
Josh.8:1 “Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take all your fighting men and attack Ai, for I have given you the king of Ai, his people, his town, and his land.”

Learn To Move
Deut.31:8 “Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

Succoth
Ps.142:3 (TPT) “For when I was desperate, overwhelmed, and about to give up, you were the only one there to help. You gave me a way of escape from the hidden traps of my enemies.”

Hold On
Ps.105:19 “Until the time came to fulfil his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character.

Over the next couple of days, by God’s grace, God is going to show us how to overcome discouragement. All these ‘D’s’ are going to crumble in Jesus Name. The truth is that, if discouragement is not handled with care it can lead to defeat. Read the rest of this entry
Be Prepared!
Prov.21:31 “The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.”
