I like "en" better than dis. You know much more than "dis" like in discouragement. How 'bout you?

Discouragement is the occupational hazard of Christian ministry. ~ John Stott

What do ya do when you run into this? I opt to pray when I feel that way. Like.. for me close with Jesus, for others..to be as well, for my town, for my country, for my leaders etc. (You can do this too). 

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58

Be encouraged in the word. Why live discouraged? Why be that way another minute? It’s been said that John Calvin left a mark on this world that has endured for centuries. He taught a lot of truth, yet during his lifetime he often battled discouragement. I’m not a Calvinist, but Jesus lived inside John and God used him to help a lot of people. 

He once said, “I am entangled in so many troublesome affairs that I am almost beside myself.” On another occasion, he said, “Today hardly one in a hundred considers how difficult and arduous it is to faithfully discharge the office of pastor.” And again he said, “In addition to the immense troubles by which I am so sorely consumed, there is almost no day on which some new pain or anxiety does not come.” 

“The Bible repeatedly tells us to eschew discouragement, to treat it like a sin, to resist and refuse it. “Do not fear or be discouraged,” says Deuteronomy 1:21. The Lord is never discouraged, and in His service there is victory. Our life, love, and labor in the Lord is never in vain. Today take God’s promise in 1 Corinthians 15:58 and use it like a broom to sweep discouragement out of your heart.” ~ Charles Stanley   

Don’t stay down, real help is there for you. You can first hand know the love of God today!

God would never discourage you or me. He ain’t at all like htat. He would always encourage, He would point us to His promises. He always keeps em -- yes, the Father would point us to the living Word, to Christ in order for us to trust Him more. Jesus is 100% trustworthy. When feelin’ down, read and reread  1 Corinthians 15:50-58. 

You were created to know God in a personal way—to have a relationship with Him, through His Son, Jesus Christ. How do you start a relationship with God?

Hey Americans, go vote. Choose life. This country here, the USA is so unique. Exceptional. I love all the nations, but this one is truly special. Be encouraged to intercede for our leaders and nation.

We must pray with the right address attached..to the Father in the name of Jesus. We must appropriately act and preserve America so that future generations can know the wonderful story of our founding...as well as experience proper protection and all of the blessings. Right there,"set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live." See Deuteronomy 30:15-20. Do ya like senseless riots, attacks and fires? I don't. Be encouraged to vote smart. Remember, only one guy running is backing the blue. One is proudly (in a good sense) and very enthusiastically supporting our US law enforcement. Yep, he's the one that Police across this Land fully, openly endorse ..and they don't normally do that. Vote to defend and fund more, not to defund or disband the Police!

“A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt 26th U.S. President

"The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever." Psalm 119:160

Be encouraged in the Lord. Pray without ceasing.. not all religious like, but in the Spirit.

Idea to start in the word, believer: Go through Proverbs (that help ya better relate to people) and Psalms monthly (that help ya relate better with God. Yeah double-dog dare ya if I may.. read 1 chapter and 5 per day).
