Can I ask you an important question? What do you do when you become discouraged? You need an answer to this question. You need a plan, and you need it now. Discouragement comes to us all. Everyone will face it. Everyone will battle it.


Main Points:

1. Discouragement will make you want to quit. Maybe even right now, as you listen to this podcast episode, you have been fighting the feelings of wanting to quit.

2. There are going to be times when you have to encourage yourself in the Lord.  
No one else is around.  The pastor is not there.  No friends are around to help you.   Your family is not there.  Do you know how to encourage yourself in the Lord?  Have you done this?  Can you grab God’s Word and feed your soul, can you find a place of prayer and pour out your soul before the Lord.  Can you worship in times of trouble?

3. If you are discouraged right now, remember God's past faithfulness and begin to thank Him for what He has already done. As you worship, watch the discouragement disappear.


Today’s Scripture Verses:

1 Samuel 30:6 - "David encouraged himself in the Lord.”
