Don't be discouraged

Don't be afraid or discouraged because the Lord is with YOU!!

Fear and discouragement are closely related. Discouragment is a lack of courage to face or cope with a certain challenge- it's a natural reaction to circumstances that push us beyond our personal resources. But God says, because we have him on our side, to refuse discouragment. Refuse to lose courage in the face of any challenge, because his strength is sufficient for us to succeed and be triumphant.
I am refusing to to be discouraged about the challenges I face in my marriage at present, the fact there have been daily tensions. I am refusing to be discouraged because God has victory in store for the upright in Christ Jesus. Even if it seems a long wait, he has victory in store for me, for us. I choose to believe it.
