How Can You Find General Encouragement?

General encouragement for you and me! NeedEncouragement.com

General encouragement comes when you know where to look for assistance!

Where do you turn first when you need general encouragement in your life? Do you go to a friend to talk to? Do you think you pray first? What do you do? I suggest stopping and sitting quietly and asking God in prayer for your needs. You can do this sitting right in front of your computer. We each seek general encouragement in different places, but it is best to go to God for help by praying, reading His Word, and spending time with other believers.

He will speak to you once you pray and ask for God’s help. After doing this, I suggest sharing your concerns with a Christian friend, pastor, or someone who cares enough to help point you to Jesus Christ. Without help from someone, it can be tough to practice living out your faith because of the many temptations in this world. Do not give up on your Christian faith; instead, hold on to what God’s word says with all the general encouragement in the Bible.

Yes, Some Christian Advice Can Seem Harsh,

But the bottom line is that if it saves you from hell and a life of sin and heartache here on earth, saves you from hell and a life of sin and suffering here on earth, I would think you would agree that being open to it would be wise! I am a sinner and would be inclined to hear someone speak to me in love rather than condemnation and judgment over me. When Pastor Ron and Sue Sauer counseled me, I was very open to the Christian advice that they shared with me. Remember to ask yourself, “Do you pray first?” ~ Bill Greguska

What Does Hope Have To Do With Encouragement?

Consider this: Your thoughts are like a train engine, and the caboose is like your feelings. The problem arises when we allow our emotions to run the train rather than sound knowledge and wisdom. You need to have hope that your situation will improve and have faith that God is the answer to all your difficulties. Then, you will be on the right track. It is not necessarily about finding happiness in your life but about finding God and following Him daily.
Psalm 46:1  God Is Our Refuge And Strength, An Ever-Present Help In Times Of Trouble.

 

A 90-Year-Old Columnist Wrote This!

A local newspaper in Cleveland, Ohio.

“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written”. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the popular column once more:

2. When in doubt, take the next small step.
 
3. Life is too short – enjoy it with God’s help.
 
4. Your job won’t care for you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.
