Christians are not exempted to the feeling of being discouraged. There are times when one word or an unmet expectation may deplete your confidence and faith which will make you feel disheartened.
When you are disappointed, it is natural to desire peace in our hearts. We want to feel comforted. When you want to defeat discouragement in your life, you need to fight for encouragement in Christ.
