Overcoming Discouragement


Listen Later

Don't let worry kill you off –
let the Church help
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
Hosea 4:6
10How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me. 11Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
Philippians 4
Wrong beliefs fuel bad behavior.
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Romans 12:2

You’re Human
And what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem? Luke 13:4 NLT

ELIMINATE
Your Habits- Stop being stupid and start being smart. (Ephesians 4)
You’re human- Count it all joy! (James 1)
You’re Holy- Rejoice and be extremely glad! (Matthew 5)
Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain;it offers escape from the snares of death.

You’re Not Hopeless!
