“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
—Romans 15:13, NKJV
Billy Graham said, “Discouragement is the very opposite of faith. It is Satan’s device to thwart the work of God in our lives. Discouragement blinds our eyes to the mercy of God and makes us perceive only the unfavorable circumstances. I have never met a person who spent time in daily prayer, in the study of the Word of God, and who was strong in faith who was ever discouraged for very long.”
