Discouragement. What an ugly word.
I was reading my Bible tonight and came across an excerpt from a commentary talking about this very subject. Amazing how you can open the Bible to scripture and find exactly what you need. The writer said, "disappointments are inevitable, but discouragement is a choice."
That is so true. Tonight, I feel rather discouraged, for my own reasons of course, and all in my head-afterall that is where the battlefield is. I realized that to avoid being discouraged, I have to 'exist above the politics.' Meaning, I cant let what goes on affect my attitude to the extent that I become discouraged. Emotions play a big part in this scenario, and I have to learn how to properly control them.
Lord, all I know to do is pray to you. I ask you to reveal your will to me for my life. Help me to discern your will. Help me to know it and walk in it confidently. Keep me from evil, and help me Lord to be bold for Your sake. I need you Lord, life gets complicated, and I need all the help I can get.
Thank You for Your peace that passes all understanding. I really needed it.
