But God, who comforts the depressed, comforted us by the coming of Titus. - 2 Corinthians 7:6 Discouragement is a part of life. All of us face times when we get tired, discouraged, or even depressed.

They think th...

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. - Philippians 4:8 How you think affects every area of your life.

In this chapter, King David reviews how faithful and good God has been to him. David declares that God is His lamp. A burning lamp was the symbol of lasting happiness and strength.

Psalm 31:24 - Be strong and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the LORD. As long as you have hope, you have a future, but when you lose hope, you lose everything. The word hope as used in the Bible is different than the way we use hope today. We say, "I hope we have ice cream tonight, I hope I win the lotto, or I hope my team wins.   We use the word hope the same way we use the word...

And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you. - Psalm 9:10 When you know the Lord, you trust the Lord. The more you know Him, the more you trust Him. You don't just know facts about God, you truly know Him by name.

Every day your faith is tested by the world and the forces of darkness, but God promises to strengthen you. Remember, God never calls you to do something that He hasn't...

Commit your works to the LORD And your plans will be established. - Proverbs 16:3 We all want to be successful. Who doesn't want to see plans for their business, career, or family succeed? Everyone wants to see what they are working on be a success. God gives us a simple plan in this powerful little promise. If you commit your plans to the Lord, He will establish them.

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." - James 4:6 God has a tender spot for the humble. Those who are willing to submit their lives to Him find grace to face every situation.   Grace is God's love in action. When you humble yourself before God, His grace flows over you and into every area of your life.   Humility begins with confessing...

For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity . - Proverbs 24:15 God knows the stuff you are made of.

He will walk with you through the failure and bring you back to fellowship with...

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. - 1 Corinthians 15:22 When Adam sinned, he brought death into the world. Sin always leads to death. Adam passed a sinful nature and death to each one of us. There is no avoiding physical death.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all. - Psalm 34:19 This promise is one of the most honest verses in the Bible. So many people expect the Christian life to be free of struggles, difficulties, or problems. The Psalmist comes right out and says that those who follow God will have difficulties.

You reveal the path of life to me; in Your presence is abundant joy; in Your right hand are eternal pleasures. - Psalm 16:11 I believe Jesus was a joyful person.

You will not fear or worry because you know that in Christ, you always ove...
