You were created to walk with God in the garden of the cool of the day, but sin came into the world, and you bore the consequences. Jesus came and took your place, reversed the curse, and offered you his yoke that is easy and his burden that is light. You're a child of God. Creation longs to be revealed. Don't conform, but be transformed, so you can have peace, joy, and hope at all times and in every situation.
But what if you're discouraged?
There is a verse in Ephesians 4 that helps you to know how to take a fast from negativity. If you go to https://revtrev.com/realme , you can print off your personalized identity in Christ. We are all going to have times when we are discouraged; it's part of living in a fallen world. Jesus promised that in this world, we would have trouble, but he's overcome the world. Paul even insisted that those who get married at this time will have trouble. It's not about avoiding trouble; it's about how you're going to get through it.
David lost everything at Ziklag; the city was destroyed. He and his men returned to find their wives and children had been taken, their goods stolen, and their buildings looted. Everyone was discouraged and bitter in their hearts, and they even talked about stoning David. But David strengthened himself in the Lord, and that is the number one tip when you're discouraged—you need to strengthen yourself in the Lord.
How do you do that? The Bible has given us ways to strengthen ourselves in the Lord, including praise and joy, the word of God, waiting expectantly on the Lord, praying in the Holy Spirit, and receiving encouragement from others. It's not a choice to get discouraged, but it is a choice to stay discouraged. What we do to get out of discouragement is to praise Him in the storm, before the answer comes, before the battle is won, and before we go into battle.
It isn't cognitive dissonance; you need to engage your whole heart. Choose to praise with your mind and your actions—raise your hands or do whatever it means for you to praise God in that moment. Have the emotion that comes when you praise God for who he is, not just for what he's done. It's way easier to praise God afterward and natural to thank him when good things happen. But in the middle of it, we do have to choose to give Him praise with our whole heart.
Praise and thanks are two things we need to do with our whole heart. And praying in the Holy Spirit—Paul says that speaking in tongues builds up the person who's speaking, so pray in tongues if you have them and seek them if you don't. Strengthening yourself in the Lord involves these active choices and practices.
