We all suffer from discouragement from time to time. Discouragement comes from a sense of failure. We try hard to be successful at what we do and we get discouragement. We can define where discouragement comes from. Discouragement means to be without courage. It is an emotional state which can become a spiritual state. Discouragement leaded to fear. In this sermon we learn how to deal with discouragement.
