How to overcome discouragement? I do not want to minimize your problem, but overcoming discouragement is a personal decision. Perhaps you think that your problem may be impossible of being resolved, and what is more important: in order for God to be able to act in your life it is necessary that you believe in Him, welcome Him and decide to change.
Sadness grows during life, traumas scars, situations that we do not accept, that profoundly wound our strength. Suffering that arrive when we least expect it as the death of someone, the diagnosis of a disease, the difficulties in the family, with a son or daughter, a husband or wife, or parents. . . Situations that at times deceive us. So some motive whatever sadness can appear. but you cannot give yourself over to it.
“Do not give in to sadness, or torment yourself deliberately.” (Sirach 30:21NAB)
The person pays the highest price when he gives himself over to discouragement. Giving yourself to diseases of the soul dismantles all and transforms itself into worry. Thus life is transformed into hell, and one feels false that he does not deserve to live.
