Isaiah 53:3 tells us that the Messiah would be “A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief”. Sooner or later, we will ALL become acquainted with grief.   Why were we all created with the ability to experience the agony of grief, the deep pain of depression, or the sadness that accompanies discouragement? In this podcast we  explore what our Creator has to say about that question and His wisdom around where we can find our joy again, and 12 practical ideas that when implemented, can move you that direction. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).  ALL things is ALL things. --- Even overcoming our own discouraging mindsets.  Hang tough. God's people are MORE than conquerors (Romans 8:37) and so very much loved (1 John 4:16).
