Bible Reading: John 14:1
Are you feeling discouraged?
God understands that we become discouraged at times. He doesn’t want us to stay discouraged
and depressed.
John 14 is a terrific chapter to read when you are feeling discouraged or depressed. In that chapter, Jesus himself reminds his disciples that God knows all about our fears, worries, and sorrows. In verse 1 Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." Jesus wanted His disciples and us to know that God will comfort His children. Jesus wanted us to know that God will take care of us and will meet our needs. Jesus wanted us to remember that God promised to give us peace – God’s peace. Jesus assured us that God promised to do all of those things. The next time you are feeling discouraged, tell God about the situation. Tell Him how you feel. Ask God to keep His promises to you. He will give you the comfort and encouragement you need.
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
Prayer: God, thank You for care of me and give me the peace that You’ve promised to give me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
