HOW TO FEEL YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST YOUR DISCOURAGEMENT
Are you been carrying a situation that you would never have chosen for yourself? Are you in a place of discouragement? Here’s something we both can agree on because these questions are playing in my heads. So let’s soar together.
“Oh Discouragement, Oh Discouragement, why did you keep me up, why are you making me weary. My mind feels crushed; my soul feels drained.
Why did discouragement comes knocking on my door? As a servant of God, I often get tempted to quit. But, I’ve learned discouragement is only for a season. Regardless of how I’m feeling, I know I can put my trust and burden to the Lord.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest”
MATTHEW 11:28
The verse is an illustration of the heart of God to us. And I know the Lord can carry the burdens that HE has prepared for us. I’m sure HE knew there would be this season in our life.
Therefore, when my burdens are heavy, I press forward and dance my way to the father’s heart. I allow him to create the beats, rhythm, melody and lyrics for me to overcome my discouragement.

3 WAYS TO EMBRACE DISCOURAGEMENT
DANCING
Here’s how I interpret discouragement. I dance! I dance until I crushed the weariness and the burdens into WINE. This song was given to me from the father’s heart
“Come to me, Come to me, I will restore that empty barrel, I will pour back into you what has been drawn out. But, my child you have to tell discouragement, you will not QUIT!” Now let’s dance.
JOURNAL
Over the years, I’ve learned that discouragement is seasonal and will not last forever. Nevertheless, I love the book of Ecclesiastes 3; it’s the perfect reflection of how everything has a time. So, here is how I wrote it to speak to me.
Dear Everything, I want to let you know there is a time for you and a season. I know I was born with a purpose, and I will leave an inheritance. So, I will plant my harvest to uproot. Therefore, everything, don’t try to kill my precious time because I will tear you down and build my vision. While I cry now due to my overwhelmed heart, joy and laughter sure comes in the morning.
UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS
Trust the process and stick with Jesus. I try not to get impatient because God has called me and he will make everything right. We have to trust him because he does not give us more than we are capable of bearing. Also, he provides us with more than what is causing the worry. Undoubtedly, I have to say his timing is divine!
Now, it’s not a simple process! Even as I pen, this post I’m facing discouragement at the highest peak. I’m weary, I’m impatient, I’m anxious, and I’m frustrated. I really want things to be better, but it seems to be taking longer.

Nevertheless, I’m after the father’s hearts, so QUIT is not in my vocabulary.
And guess what, it should not be in yours too. Instead, take that discouragement in prayer.
Prayer is my safe place. It’s the only place I can go, and feel comforted, free, happy, loved, and refilled. In other words, I push through and persevere, knowing that God has curated beautiful treasures in secret places for me.
Now, you’re thinking how to behold discouragement before it overwhelms you.
The answer is crowdsourcing the BIBLE.
It’s the best book I’ve read! Let me clarify; I would have recommended another book or a person, but that too has caused some discouraged too. So I’ve decided to stick with the one that gives has the best result.
I hope my story of discouragement comforts you in times of discouragement. Thank you for reading my faith & inspiration here!
