Day 3 of Hope: Encourage Yourself in the Lord!

What do you do when you are discouraged? There was a time in David’s life when he was discouraged. The Amalekites attacked his town, took captives, and even his own soldiers turned against him. But in the midst of this despair, David did something extraordinary – he encouraged himself in the Lord.

When life brings you down, here are five practical ways to encourage yourself in the Lord:

1. Tell God about your struggles—He already knows about it.

2. Treasure Bible verses that spark hope in your struggle.

3. Surround yourself with positive, godly people who lift you up.

4. Ask the Holy Spirit to surround you and protect you.

5. Leave all of your burdens at the foot of the Cross each day.

Powerful Principle: When you are discouraged, you can always find new courage and hope in the Lord. So, learn to encourage yourself in the Lord.
