Overcoming The Spirit of Discouragement & Heaviness

Daily dissatisfactions will threaten to consume our emotional resources and deflect our attention away from God. We choose whether to walk in peace, joy or any other Christ-like attribute. Circumstances do not control us; Christ does. We never have to be the victim of our feelings or sabotaged by our emotions. It’s our choice whether to look to God, listen, learn, and move ahead. When we do……the wounded, dejected places in our heart and the scars of old dissatisfactions will melt away. The Lord has such great plans for us with more blessings than we can ever imagine. Let go of dissatisfactions and the anxiety of hoping and trusting again. God holds our future in His hands. Sometimes He allows dissatisfactions to occur so that we will learn to rely on Him even the more. Most of all learning… “to walk by faith and not by sight.” I heard it best said this way, “WHILE DISAPPOINTMENTS ARE INEVITABLE, DISCOURAGEMENT IS A CHOICE.”
