Life can be extremely challenging.
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
Jesus clearly stated that in this life we would have tribulation and trouble and pain and distress but that we should also be courageous, confident, and joyful because He has overcome the world (John 16:33 AMP).
Discouragement abounds in our society. The best antidote for discouragement is a healthy dose of scripture.
Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Micah 7:8 Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall I will rise; Though I dwell in darkness, the Lord is a light for me.
Proverbs 24:16 For a righteous man falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in time of calamity.
Courage and joy must originate from our hearts and not just from our heads.
We must immerse ourselves in The Good Book — as faith comes by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17).
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”

God Gives Us Strength
“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.” – Isaiah 40:29-31 (NIV)
God Is With You
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
