WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FEEL:
Discouraged

Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting
joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee
away. Isaiah 51:11

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through
manifold temptations:
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried
with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with
joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Be careful for nothing: but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:6-8

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against
the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. Psalm 138: 7

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. John 14:1

Peace, I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not
your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; II Corinthians 4:8, 9

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have
need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Being
confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day
of Jesus Christ: Philippians 1:6

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. Psalms 31:24

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of
whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat
up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Though an host shall encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against
me, in this will I be confident.
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he
hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in
his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me
not, neither forsake me, 0 God of my salvation.
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. Teach me thy way, a
Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and
such as breathe out cruelty: I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in
the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Psalm 27:1-14
