Psalms 42:11 NLT Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise Him again— my Savior and my God!
When things aren’t going well in our health, marriages, finances, or at work, there’s a temptation to be discouraged or depressed.
When discouragement and depression knock, don’t answer. Instead, let’s focus our attention on God, put our hope in Him, and give Him praise.
Putting our hope in God and giving Him praise is a choice we’ll have to make if we want to keep discouragement and depression from barging in. We’ll have to put our hope in God and praise Him while crying, when we don’t feel like it, and when everything within our flesh is saying, “How will this help?”
Don’t sit in discouragement and depression waiting for the situation to get better. Get out of that and force yourself to put your hope in God and praise Him in advance for favorable outcomes.
