The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. (Psalm 34:17-19) 

 

Ever get discouraged? 

 

 

And honestly, I get discouraged when I put too much trust in people and expect them to do or say something that I’ve been longing to hear.

 

Discouragement is a real feeling, and it’s a real tool of the enemy to come against the child of God. If you let it sink in, discouragement will press you down, and it can hinder you from doing what the Lord has called you to do.

 

What do you do?

 

Here’s what I do: Dig in to scripture that encourages you in the Lord.

 

Discover what God says about any given situation and then trust His Word. It has power to give life if you let it penetrate your heart. 

 

“The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” Psalms 34:17-19 

 

I pray today that if you are discouraged that Jesus will lift your spirit and whisper truth in your ear. He knows your pains; He cares and he will answer!

 

When I read this devotion it blessed me and I felt it needed to be shared today. We all struggle with discouragement from time to time but as today’s devotion says, I pray you allow Christ to lift your spirit and whisper truth in your ear. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9

 

Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

Today’s Reading is Psalm 95:1-2
