Motivation

motivation - How can I stay motivated when I am discouraged?

So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

1 Corinthians 15:58

My life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus.

Acts 20:24

“I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.”

Jeremiah 29:11-13

LACK OF MOTIVATION often comes from lack of purpose. We lose inspiration and enthusiasm when we feel our actions and efforts are meaningless. However, we must remember that nothing we do for God is ever useless. Sometimes we just need to take time to refocus on him to give us a clearer vision for the future and our part in his eternal plan. If you feel discouraged right now, don’t allow your circumstances to lead you toward hopelessness. Focus instead on God’s promise to guide you into the wonderful future he has planned for you as his daughter. Ask him to give you a renewed sense of motivation, energy, and confidence as you trust him to help you. Anticipation for your future can compel you to move forward today.
