Discouraged???

Are you discouraged right now? I am! Everyone understands the battles of life and the discouragement that often accompanies.

We cruise along pretty good, thinking things are ok and slam out of left field comes a trial or a setback. The scale went up again, but you are starving and didn’t eat anything more; how can this happen. The lazy slacker in the office just received the promotion you have been putting overtime in for! You once again come up lacking with your spouse and bear the brutal words that stab and scar. The judge awarded evil over right; where is the fairness? You get it; we all live it.

Remember John 10:10 ESV “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”

Satan wants you to believe his lies: you aren’t good enough, you will always be fat, you are a hypocrite, you aren’t smart enough, you will still lose, it’s never going to change. You know the words, he whispers in your ear, they are good and geared just for you. They will trip, destroy and leave you broken if you continue to listen.

Isaiah 40:31 ESV “But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

Psalms 56:3 “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”

I don’t know if you are under attack, just survived an attack or live with a chronic battle. If I can offer anything, it is to pray and bring your woes to the feet of Jesus. The situation might not change that instant but he will wrap you in his love and peace. Be blessed and thank you for joining me. 🥰
