If you know the Lord, you don’t have to live with fear and discouragement.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
Lift your heart to God and allow the Holy Spirit to help you to overcome fear and discouragement.
The Spirit of God will give you a spirit of love and with that comes a sound mind.
Just like the Shepherd in Psalm 23, He ever abides with his own. When we face trials, He goes through them with us.
I’m glad the Lord is my Shepherd. He will never leave us nor forsake us - Heb. 13:5; His grace is always sufficient for every need - 2 Cor. 12:9.
This ought to cause us to praise Him.
