Now, note that it isn’t sin to be discouraged. We will all be called to deal with difficult surprises because God’s plans for us are often very different from the plans we have for ourselves. We will all face “enemies” that are bigger in size and ability than we are. We will all be tempted to wonder why a good God would bring things into our lives that don’t seem good at all. But it’s important to understand that although it isn’t a sin to be discouraged, what you do with your discouragement is deeply spiritually important.
