Stop trying so hard to obey Christ. It brings alot of suffering and pain right? But i'm thankful, for God's word and His messenger to speak to me ytdy!

Discouragement is a sneaky enemy because it leads to a slow bleed, a gradual erosion. As the battles become difficult and the results delayed, discouragement settles in, layer upon layer, until we’re ready to give up.

“be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).

We have the choice to become covered with disbelief or faith. Joshua trusted God’s promises so much that he voiced them to others (Joshua 1:6,9,10:25) and, consequently, led an entire nation into God’s freedom. It begs the question: What are our lives reflecting to others—discouragement or deep trust in God?

—Regina Franklin

And the reflection question goes, "How can you learn to trust God more and not give up?" Yea. Do my life reflect discouragement or a deep trust in God? Persevere, my dear friend! Never give up! Yea! And maybe u'll get a layout score! :)
