Combat discouragement!

There is so much that we could accomplish if we didn't get discouraged and quit.   Life is hard.   Weight loss is hard.   Developing Christian character is hard.  School is hard.  Controlling your tongue is hard.

We lose out on so much because we get discouraged and quit.  We can't just not be discouraged, we must combat discouragement!  Fight!  Fight hard!  Encourage yourself in the Lord.  Cast down all thoughts of defeat.  Anything good is worth fighting for. If I don't succeed, I can diligently seek the reason for the (temporary) failure.  I will find a way!

Whatever it is that you quit because it was too hard, take up again.  Fight the good fight. Endure hardships as a soldier of Christ.
