Discouragement is a common response to challenge our life...there are many causes why we being discourage like verbal abuse,unanswered prayers,financial,health problems,unexplained adversities,worthless feelings and etc..These are making us sad,discourage, but will soon pass away.. Now, how we can response to those things?You have to trust God,relax/rest,recognize your self how to dealth it rightly resist that discouragement...Ask God to reveal the best response to difficulties......don't live a life to be discourage always erase that in your mind!

hello my friend. it is always a good idea to ask for God's help in times of adversities. while it is easy for us to get discouraged, it is easier to ask for His help. we should always ask for God's wisdom and enlightenment not only during adversities but also in times of happiness. it is in His glory we find peace in our hearts and minds.

Life is challenging, and at one point or another we are going to face those challenges and some discouragement. We do need to get over this step, and try to get rid of all the negative thoughts we may have. Whenever I feel discouraged, I try to remind myself that, as bad as things feel right now, they can most likely get a lot worse. That's one thing I keep in mind. Besides that, I just try to relax, and do something enjoyable. Something to get my mind over the challenges and such.

Just be optimistic in order to overcome the feeling of depression, when you were discouraged just weigh the situation, give positive outlook in life or in a certain matter that caused your discouragement and that's it! you win from being depressed. Be prayerful God will enlightens and resolves whatever burden you have in life.

You are absolutely right that if we do not want to be discouraged, we have to allow God into our lives to give the proper direction on what path to follow. Just recently, I suffered from a setback in life as a result of a relationship but after suffering from a lot of heartache, I prayed to the Lord to help me carry on with my life and mysteriously, all the heartache was diminished but not actually gone. I asked the Lord to teach me the right decision and to guide me in accepting my fate. I am still hoping for a miracle but if it will not happen then, I will move on. That is my response to all the difficulties that I encounter in life in order to be able to accept and remain sane at the same time, otherwise, with all these trials, I would have been lost and down.

For me, discouragement are the obstacles in life. Discouragement is the result of failure for something. Failure isn't a big deal, it is how you respond and learn from it. We need to stand out from the discouragement which comes to our life. We need to keep moving forward.

Look at it this way, if you take charge of whatever needs to be done in your life, nothing can ever discourage you. Taking charge means to be prepared to work towards a goal, gather enough knowledge and then take a shot at reaching the goal. There is no role for anything or anyone else. God and religion can be trusted to give you the mental stability and the perseverance to do your job and in most of the cases provide inspiration which is very valuable. The various aspects of life and disappointments like "verbal abuse,unanswered prayers,financial,health problems,unexplained adversities, worthless feelings" as you have mentioned, can be overcome partly with the inspiration drawn from religion. The rest with your sense of achievement, experience and responsibility after each task. To lean on spirituality to do your job is bound to give you very disappointing results. Nature has in all its wisdom, has endowed us a brain, with a thinking process and limbs to work. It is only natural that we use these faculties and do our job. This way even a failure is a success in the terms that we really know our mistakes and have a real chance on improving on our performance. Take it from me, if you adopt this method, you will be so busy enjoying success after success and sometimes, correcting your mistakes that you will have no time for disappointment. Good luck!

People meet discouragement from time to time and it's quite normal. We would feel upset, sad, frustrated of course. I think the first thing to do is to face it and accept it. What's done can not be undone, anyway. And don't let that negative feeling take control of us. Sometimes we choose life too. Take a different attitude towards life, and life would be totally different. If we always look at the bright side of life and always try to find out the solution, things would get less complicated and life would be much easier.
