“Tell everyone who is discouraged, Be strong and don’t be afraid! God is coming to your rescue…”
Isaiah 35:4
God wants us to talk to him, even when we are discouraged, tired and frustrated. He wants us to tell the truth and approach him with confidence.
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”
John 14:1
Let your heart be ruled by what God has promised you and what scripture tells you and not by what you see. God does not want us dwelling in anger or other negative, destructive feelings we may have at the moment.
This is why we should be honest with God and when we pray to God, we should come as we are and not pretending to be someone we are not.
If we are honest with Him, we will feel a sense of relief and that should lead us to a deeper relationship with God. A deeper relationship will definitely lead to less discouragement.
Don’t let satan win,
Especially when God is the Victor!
“Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.”
Psalm 55:22
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavyladen, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.
Philippians 4:8
Remember the Enemy is relentless in his efforts to keep us from praying to God. We experience a measure of victory over him every time we stand firm in the faith and, through prayer.
Stay strong, the race is almost over.
Many Blessings,
Connie
