I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
Don't be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God's
2 Chronicles 20:15
I know sometimes discouragement can make us feel sorry for ourselves I do get discourage when I was feeling stress and I always feel that I can't do it. I have thoughts like "Why did I come to UK to study?" "Why this degree course that I'm taking is irrelevant if I work in Malaysia?" "I want to go home. I just want to quit this degree." Lolz...this sounds very worrying but don't worry I'm not going to quit. This is just my thoughts in my mind when the stress comes in because UK standard is very though and to go straight to the final year without knowing anything about UK system and also Harvard referencing is seriously crazy. At the time like this, I'm focusing on finishing assignments and forgetting that God is near and ready to help whenever I feel that I'm so helpless in doing this assignment and more assignments to finished too and doubt that I can finished it in time.
Well, what can I say! Don't let yourselves to think that you are the only ones that are going through troubles. It can be comforting when you think that the others are going through the same thing as you are. Other than that, don't let your feelings of discouragement shake your assurance of God's love for you. Discouragement can really cause you to doubt God's love, drawing you away from your greatest basis of help. Always know that God will fight on your behalf and help you succeed as you trust him. But of course don't take it for granted because you have God to help you, you have to do your part too as in doing your very best in everything that you do. For example, you can't just say "Oh please God help me in my exam tomorrow", and you didn't even study for it. You can't expect God to help you in that way right.
Watch out for your great enemy, the devil...
Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith.
Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world
are going through the same kind of suffering you are.
1 Peter 5:8-9
When you feel discourage, always take the initiative to seek and stay close to God by praying and reading the bible. It is through talking to God and reading His Word that He will provide divine moments of encouragement when you need the most. Lolz...I have to really spend time reading the bible and talk to God through prayer because lately i had not been doing my quiet time which is not a good thing maybe because of that I feel the uneasiness and couldn't sleep well at night. So, I encourage those who doesn't do quiet time much like me to do it everyday so that it will make you feel that you have the comfort and peace because the Lord is with you always. Another verse to remember:
Be strong and courageous!
Do not be afraid or discourage,
for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
Thanks Papa for comforting me just now , thanks to my friend May who helped me a lot too and thanks to those who prayed for me too. Sometimes you need your family and friends to cheer you up in times of discouragement. Hope this verses can encourage you too because it encourage me. Will keep all of you in prayer. ^_^ And always remember God and Jesus Loves You! and also They are always with you wherever you go.
