Discouragement, a pang caused by diminished or depressed hope, courage, and, or confidence. An invisible cloud that looms overhead, echoing the emotional anguish felt before and after bed.

Reflection: God’s Plan
Patient yet unrelenting, God meticulously pursues us to abide by His designed plan for us. We are blessed to have the Lord God as our God.

Devotional: 1 Timothy 6:6
1 Timothy 6:6 AMP 6 But godliness actually is a source of great gain when accompanied by contentment [that contentment which comes from a sense of inner confidence based on the sufficiency of God].
