Real Solutions for Overcoming Discouragement, Rejection, and the Blues

Every person has, at one time or another, felt discouraged. Discouragement can come from any number of sources—from medical problems to unhealthy relationships. Whatever its cause, discouragement takes the edge off life and drains us of our motivation. When we are discouraged, we often feel alone. But we are not. Far from it. In fact, many men and women we read about in the Scriptures were also tempted to give up at one time or other—and through their experiences, struggles and insights, and other biblical teaching, we can find instruction, hope, and help that will get us through our own depression and dismay.
