Biblical Examples—Learning from the Discouraged

 

The Bible is full of stories of people who faced deep discouragement. Cain’s offering was rejected, David was hunted by his own son, and Elijah fled from Jezebel’s threats. Each faced a turning point: Cain allowed discouragement to become sin, while David and Elijah eventually turned back to God. Their stories remind us that discouragement is a common struggle, but our response determines our outcome.

Bible Verses:
