Discouragement is faint-heartedness, a state in which we lose all hope. We lose confidence in God - God has'nt answered my prayer. I've been praying for so long. It's no use! Maybe He doesn't love me. "We lose confidence in ourselves too - I'm a failure. Everything I try to do is a failure. I have no success in my job. In my future also everuthing is going to go wrong." You also lose confidence in others - I dont think anybody can help me.Nobody understands me."
Discouragement makes you hit rock bottom. Spiritually, and sometimes physically also, you become weak.You become a burden to others and the devil makes you feel even more discouraged.
Child of God, today the Word of God is coming to you.
The Lord has not planned failure for you but a grand success.
"I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" JER 29:11
- PASTOR T.U.THOMAS
Thanks for the excerpts from the speech of our Pastor. You may wonder if I say that I was crying to God for a word of encouragement today evening. I was bit worried about the future as I happen to pass through a tribulation. I was hearing our late Chief Pastor's message 'Fear' when I just opened your blog. Thanks for bringing "I know the plans I have for you" before my eyes. It was a solace to my troubled heart. The word of God reminded me of some unconfessed sin. Our God is merciful even to the worst sinner of this world. Praise be to his name
