One of the greatest weapons of the enemy is discouragement.  Discouragement can wound the heart fasten the heart of the believer to the malaise of doubt.  The enemy does not care about you and me.  He only loves to see us wallowing  in discouragement and defeat.  If you are struggling with discouragement its hard to pick up your Bible and find the answer that you need.  Therefore it is necessary for us to store up the Word in our hearts, and put on the Armour of God as a spiritual imperative.
