The feeling of having lost hope and confidence that something will or can happen is discouragement.  In Psalm 43:3, we are told to allow God’s truth to provide the right path for us to follow and His light a clear vision to follow the path.  When you feel surrounded by darkness and uncertainty, follow God’s light and truth.  God will guide you. God’s truth is the Holy Spirit.  You must place your total trust in Him, rely on Him for guidance and strength, and live as He wants you to live.  1 John 2:27

In God, there is no darkness.  His truth will expose whatever exists in your path.  He will guide you out of the darkness of sin.   He will show you your errors so that they are clear and that you may change.  1 John 1:5

When you feel, discouraged God is your hope!   He will make clear the way you are to go.  Don’t try to figure it out; don’t waste your time trying to see the way out.  Follow God’s way by knowing His Word and doing what it says to do—forget about the past, only trust God, not your best friend; just God.  God hears your cry; He will rescue you!  Praise Him because He is your Savior and God.  He sees everything concerning you.  He knows your situation.  Come to Him now.
