Discouragement Land

In today's world, there are many ways to become discouraged.

Things are happening around us, some far and others near, and even within ourselves, so we can have unpleasant thoughts that bring us down.

If we're not careful, even spiritual people can visit the "Land of Discouragement."

Jesus said, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be discouraged, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27

How do we NOT let our heart be brought low or have fear?

One way is through the power of His peace.

Some other suggestions:

The Bible's David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. 1 Samuel 30:6

The Bible's Paul, when he saw some brothers and sisters in Christ, thanked God and took courage. Acts 28:15

At another time, the Bible's Titus arrived and comforted Paul and others who were troubled on every side. 2 Corinthians 7:6

The Lord may inspire us to encourage ourselves by thinking about and enjoying our relationship with Him.

And He also shares His uplifting love with us through others.
