Last Updated: 09 January 2020
Feeling Like Giving Up? Here’s a collection of Encouraging Bible Verses to give you strength and hope.
While you may be blessed and highly favored by God, it doesn’t excuse the fact that sometimes you got some pain somewhere in your life or you’re going through a very difficult situation. I wish I could tell you that you’d no longer have to deal with stress, struggles and problems. Unfortunately, it’s a part of our existence for as long as we live in this world. But if you allow them, they will control your mind and steal your joy.
Stop worrying! A wonderful woman of God Corrie ten Boom said: “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength”. And Yes, she’s right. No matter what is going on in your life right now. Don’t lose hope. Make up your mind and choose to live in faith and expectancy. Don’t focus on your obstacles, focus on your God.
