A Discouraged Heart

Continued from "A Distracted Heart":
When we're distracted, discouragement is just around the corner. Though we may have just completed great things for God, weary discouragement tells us we're useless, hopeless, and abandoned. Being quite the hostess myself, I throw pity parties fairly regularly. Trouble is, no one wants to come. Self-pity is a lonely occupation. When we're distracted and discouraged, tired and overwhelmed, there is no better place to go than to our Father. He alone has what we need. Go to the Lord and let him sweep away your discouragement. As you do, you'll find healing for your hurting heart. Even when it can't help but doubt.
