Discouraged or afraid? Sometimes I feel discouraged, if I try to do something with good intentions, and it doesn't work out right!  I feel afraid of what the future may hold! But, the Bible has a verse for us. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.  Just like anyone else, I have to read these words once and awhile to remind myself of this.
