Is Your Heart Troubled? By Halsey Placide

Have you ever wondered how is it that someone can be experiencing tremendous success and happiness and suddenly they are at wits' end with no strength, no vigor, or no fight? Maybe even wishing they could just vanish or die.

Every human being will have periods of discouragement in their lifetime and that includes every creed and race. No one is exempted. For the most part, we see and hear of many who lost hope because of this deadly evil.

Have you found yourself in a place like King David in Psalm 42:5 Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? In essence, David was having a matter of the heart that left him overwhelmed. More often than not, the answer is found in one word: DISCOURAGEMENT.

If we stay in the pool of discouragement, it can be harmful. Its sense of defeat and hopelessness can be destructive to every dimension of life.
