Resist discouragement

Some of you are discouraged over your children that their lives are not going well. Some of you are discouraged about your marriage; it’s not at all what you thought it would be. You feel deflated and disappointed. 

Some of you are discouraged about your finances, or your health, or the economy, or an unanswered prayer.

I want to say something to you, and it may sound mean, but it isn’t. It’s simply truth, so I say this in love: If you’re discouraged, that’s your choice. 

We make a choice to be discouraged. We make a choice to let discouraging thoughts move freely through our minds. But, we can also make a choice to change our thoughts at any time, taking them captive in the Lord.

You get to choose what to focus on – your purpose or your problems, your inner power or your weakness, or your circumstances.

We can fight discouragement. Here’s a tip to help:
When you get discouraged, focus somewhere else. Say to yourself, 

“I don’t have time to be discouraged right now. I’m too busy fulfilling my life mission.”
