Dumping Discouragement and Discovering Dreams

Dumping Discouragement and Discovering Dreams

Discouragement vs. Dreams



Time to cast off discouragement and revive your dreams!  I know this is often easier said than done, especially if we really feel like we’re in those pits of despair, and have had a string of bad events happen in our lives, leaving us feeling really hopeLESS instead of hopeFUL.


Yet, we need to just reach out our hands to find God is standing right there, if not actually carrying us through, as in this iconic Footprints poem by Mary Stevenson. God said if we even have faith as tiny as a grain of mustard seed…He will honor our faith, and bring our hopes and dreams to fruition…according to HIS will and wisdom of what’s best for us, and in HIS time!


So onto your hope and inspiration for today!


“Isn’t it interesting that sometimes when you ask God for something, He lets it go so long, the only thing that can possibly produce what you asked for, is a miracle?

Why does God do that? Because He likes to ‘show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are blameless toward Him’ (2 Chronicles 16:9).

If something is dead–a dream, a desire, a want, a need–it doesn’t matter to God how dead it is. God can still bring it back to life in His timing because our God is an awesome God. Nothing is too hard for Him. That is why He is never in a hurry and why it seems as if He often waits until nothing will work but a miracle.”

–Joyce Meyer in “New Day New You”


My Reflections


Obviously this is where patience and trust enter the picture. The more time that goes by, the easier it is to get discouraged and feel hopeless about ever achieving certain goals or seeing dreams fulfilled.


I know there have been times when I thought the little flicker of hope was about to go out, and suddenly, out of the blue, the miracle happened! I’m at that point now regarding a couple areas of life… so I’m standing ready and waiting for that breakthrough (my word for this year!)


So What Are YOUR Thoughts?


Have you given up on any special dreams?


Is there still a flicker of hope left to trust God for a miracle? I’ll agree with you in prayer!

  1. At the risk of sounding selfish, I am afraid my dream of going to Spain is never going to come to fruition. I only hope if I get to do it, I can use the experience to help (or entertain, I guess!) others.

  2. We all have a dream that we want to fulfill but dreams doesn’t always gets fulfilled. My dream of travelling the World may not come true but I at the very least travelled many places within my own country and seen many things, With which I’m satisfied.
