It’s easy to be discouraged when expectations aren’t met or things don’t go the way we planned. Jeremiah 29

11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

12: Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

13: And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
