As we go through life there will be times when we feel that we will falter. Times when we have unhealthy attitudes, toxic habits and even sin abounds. We are daily exposed to much spiritual contamination.  In these moments, if not careful, we can easily become depressed, have anxiety, be angry, become bitter or discouraged, and so much more.  We have to learn how to support and strengthen ourselves during these times. Through all of all this, we can be like David, in the bible, and learn how to encourage ourselves and be strengthened in the Lord. David's life shows us the ability to strengthen and minister to ourselves is a vital skill that we must learn if we are going to develop the character to fulfill our potential in what God has called us to do.
