Video Text:
Do you feel discouraged? If you’re feeling worn-out, bummed out or just out of gas, and want to feel better today, this video will help you re-discover your song and find a new spark for your life!

When we are discouraged it’s absolutely vital to know that we’re never alone in this feeling. One of Satan’s most powerful strategies to keep us discouraged is to make us isolate ourselves. When we are in solitary confinement, he can torment our minds, invade our dreams and make us scream knowing that no one will hear.

That’s why it’s so important to share your discouragement with others. After all, it is no secret that we’ve all been there. Every human over age 2 has felt downcast, gloomy or disheartened. No one is immune, and that’s why sharing is so vital. You and I may both be strong, but if we’re going to fight discouragement, we are so much stronger together!

It’s important to know that discouragement takes on many forms and attacks us in a hundred different ways. Satan will try to beat us up with whatever discouragement weapon he can find in his arsenal, and sometimes, even the most incredible people in the world get discouraged. After all, think of all the talented and successful celebrities who get stuck in drugs – simply because of depression, discouragement or some type of disillusionment.

Consider the story of my friend who had built a successful business and now as a wealthy 62-year-old said he was so discouraged and disillusioned with life that he was “ready to die.” He’d been there, done that, traveled the world, taken risks, loved his kids and doted on his grandchildren. But Satan tried to make him focus on his future that suddenly seemed boring, where he became scared of losing what he had. Even so, he said he was more than ready to call it quits.

Another friend told me he simply did not love his wife anymore. There was no spark, romance or joy in his marriage. He said the glue was gone, with nothing to look forward too except disagreements. After his lament, he said that he too, was ready to call it quits.

Yes, we’ve all felt discouraged, or felt like quitting at times. Quitting school, leaving our marriage, resigning from work and even abandoning God. But the good news is there is an easy, three-part solution that is proven to work!

Step one is to think. Yes to think! To remember what you already know about God. The Bible tells us that God has great plans for you as it says, “I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.” Jeremiah 29:11 GNT

As we are thinking, consider how, when we look backward, we can instantly remember things from childhood. Instantly. With that in mind, flip your timeframe around and imagine how long eternity must be. What an amazing thing to know that our God has plans for you to prosper well past this short life and into eternity!

Step two is to be thankful. Just yesterday, another friend called, barely able to speak through his tears, saying how the hospital had just diagnosed him with stage 4 lung cancer. And after he told me his situation, he told me how thankful he was for his relationships with God, his family and for all he had been blessed with. Wow...
