Do NOT lose heart...

". . . for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart " (Galatians 6:9). So how do we lock the doors and keep the robber of discouragement from stealing God's promise?

Have you ever experienced being anxious about something, so much so that it's all you can think about during the day? You may be hoping for something good to come to pass or you may be dreading an activity or experience that you are about to go through. I've been in the thick of both those scenarios in the last few weeks and let me tell you it can be a roller coaster!

I have been reading a book lately - here is a quote from it that I've been hanging onto with both hands: “Quit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time; better yet, make the most of this moment. It’s good to have a big – picture outlook, to set goals, to establish budgets and make plans, but if you’re always living in the future, you’re never really enjoying the present in the way God wants you to.”
