Having wisdom means knowing that all good things do not last forever and that all bad things do not last forever helps put things into perspective. Remember the saying, “This too shall pass” is something to keep in mind.

If you have committed your life to God, he has you in the palm of his hand. God will help you to rebound from the temporary circumstances you are dealing with, and remember to reach out to others who can help you. ~ Bill Greguska

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Discouragement can be overcome!

You can rebound from discouragement like any other overwhelming feeling that a person can have.

Some good can come out of being discouraged. It can show us what we need to do differently to reach our goal or learn a lesson. The thing is that we need to know that we can rebound from discouragement. We do not need to live in that state of mind. But we also need to know that we wouldn’t appreciate the good times if we didn’t experience the lows.
