    Jesus’ counsel to the troubled disciples in John 14 provides the answer to discouragement. We need to (1) trust God fully, and (2) recall what He has said.

    John 14:1-4 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you.
