Let us begin with the letter D. We need to DETERMINE that we will not remain discouraged. The two main key points here are DETERMINE and REMAIN… Discouragement in universal problem and it’s a fact that we all become discouraged. But what’s important is that once we become discouraged we need to DETERMINE that we won’t REMAIN discouraged. Now the difficulty of this, is that we must use mental discipline. The bible talks a lot about physical discipline and self-control. But, the bible also encourages us to have mental discipline.
