We experience discouragement many times throughout our lives. Lack of energy, vitality or interest in certain areas, sometimes caused by physical fatigue and others for emotional reasons are the main causes, but within the discouragement is also the one that we experience in the spiritual area, that rare feeling of lack of energy to continue with what you are doing, like sometimes you want but something discourages you, they are not problems, and sometimes it is not even something that you can explain, but you feel that although you want to do something, for some reason you end up giving up.
The discouragement in both natural and spiritual produces a feeling of discomfort that although we do not want to feel this present, you want to do something and you are willing to do it, but from one moment to another you are sitting again in the same place you were, you really spend your time in nothing, you feel as if you are drying out little by little, as if the flame that burned in you with force, suddenly it has been extinguished and the worst thing of all is that sometimes we ourselves are the last ones in notice, we focus so much on everything that is happening around that we do not realize what happens inside ourselves.
I think most of us have gone through that moment, we all get to a point where things start to feel monotonous, we look at other things when it should be in Jesus, we hear some bad comment or we begin to lose communication with God, away from Him, and we lose so much time that by the time we realize we are already out there in some sad and unmotivated corner, without that pushing force that helps us do something, without an apparent motivation.
When we feel discouraged we tend to put aside what we had begun to do with so much desire, sometimes our motives for carrying out an activity or spiritual performance are many to begin with, but halfway we lose them one by one until we make the decision to finish with everything.
Larger than the reasons that caused your discouragement, this is the main reason that encourages you to keep going and not give up, it is the love of God that moves you, that pushes you forward to stand firm towards the goal of the path you started, as well may be fear, pain, sadness, or disappointment for what you are going through, God says in his word "Be strong and courageous; Do not be afraid, nor be afraid of them, for Jehovah your God is the one who goes with you; He will not leave you, nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31: 6
No matter how many times your discouragement comes to your spiritual life, a constant communication with God is the best way to close the door in your face and continue working.
