How to Fight Discouragement with Bible Verses
There comes a time in life when you have to encourage yourself. This may be the result of having no one to help you or the people in your life being bent on discouraging you.
David found himself in such a situation when he and his men arrived at their homes in Ziklag and found their wives and children kidnapped and their houses burnt to the ground.
David’s men then begun talking about stoning him to death but David encouraged himself in the Lord (1 Samuel 30:6) and he was able to lead his men to recover what they had lost.
Therefore if you ever find yourself in a similar situation understand that you have to combine spiritual and physical interventions so that you can fight discouragement effectively.
The first spiritual intervention for fighting discouragement is prayer. Therefore emulate David who sought the Lord to find out what he should do about his situation. (1 Samuel 30:8)
As you pray, use Scriptures since the Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17) that we can use to fight spiritual battles.
