Feeling Down
What should I do when I feel discouraged?
God’s Response
Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. . . . You will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the LORD’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you! 2 Chronicles 20:15-17
Do you ever feel that life is a battle and that you are on the losing side? Life can be very discouraging. When you are tired or when the obstacles seem too big, it is easy to feel down. Remember that when you have God’s Spirit in you, you are tapped into God’s almighty power. You don’t have to win every battle on your own—God doesn’t even want you to. When you ask for his help in your struggles, God will fight for you.
This Is Promising
Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
