How do you handle discouragement?
Better yet — how do you beat it?
(I fear too many of us — well, I, anyway — enjoy too much wallowing in it.)

| For what ails you
The best thing to do when you’re depressed is to live as though you’re not depressed. (That advice applies to fear and other suffering as well.) […] And then I pray God’s promises over it—“I will never leave you or forsake you”; “My power is made perfect in weakness”; that sort of thing. It helps, also, to make a list of what you need to do that day, and just start doing it. Press into life and live it. |
I simply have to remember that.
And this:

“Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.” |
