This ministered to me...

1. You can get discouraged a lot of ways. But the one sure way to avoid discouragement. First of all let us understand something. We are all participating in this thing called “Life”.

All of us.
2. Life has uneven flows, it’s got mountains tops, it’s got Valleys, it’s got thunderstorms in it, earthquakes. This Life stop expecting it to go smooth! Because it ain’t going to go smooth every time. The road to success is always under construction.
3. I know this life ain’t set up to be smooth. You combat negativity and you combat discouraging discouragement with gratitude.

Is the one way to combat discouragement is with gratitude. What messes you up is you focus on the thing that’s not happening.
4. And that causes you to get discouraged. So whenever you get discouraged, you have to change your focus from what’s not happening to what has happened.
5. And it straightens you out immediately, because what causes the downslide is that you get wrap up in what is not happening, And it just snowballs. But you have to focus on gratitude. People understand how serious gratitude is. You know it’s a serious principle of success.
6. It’s hard to be miserable and grateful at the same time.

After getting depressed few times this year 2020... l have to think about all the incredible things God has ever done for me.

That thinking put a smile on my face... Joy and depression cannot reside in the same space.
7. So when you get down and start thinking about how dark it is, l want you to remember everything that God did for you that was good. And that will replace all the negative thoughts that you are having. Because joy and depression cannot reside in the same place.
8. When you get depressed & and you get discouraged you gotta replace it with joy.
9. What has God done for you in 2020?

* Didn’t you wake up today?
* Ain’t you still breathing?
* Don’t you have some measure of health?
* Ain’t you working?
* Do you have food on your table?
* You ain’t homeless?
10. Now, when you start tripping, and you get depressed. You gotta go into your yourself, & come up with some gratitude. You cannot be discouraged & grateful at the same time. You cannot do it!

That’s how you come back from depression. I am telling you, it works just try it.
