Feeling discouraged?

Below are more quotes from Crash the Chatterbox by Steven Furtick.
That's because the resistance is always fiercest on the borderline of a breakthrough.
God's grace doesn't clear the tracks of discouragement and setbacks. It gives me the power to override the reasons I should stop. And keep rolling.
 Every Christian has a calling. And the chatterbox is assigned to interrupt that calling. The ability to overcome discouragement is driven by our intentional decision to reassure ourselves: God says I can.
Inner conflict is often a confirmation of your calling. The Enemy only fights those who pose a threat.
disappointment is the gap between what I expect and what I experience.
Allowing God to fill your gaps means refusing to pretend the gaps don't exist. But it also means refusing to attempt to fill the gaps in ways--or with people--that can't get to job done. Only God is big enough to fill the gap.
Don't let what you expected keep you from what God wants you to experience.
Nothing will bring us into a consciousness of God's presence more quickly and deeply than praising Him and giving thanks to Him. And nothing will disrupt our awareness of His presence like focusing on our own discontent.
Gratitude is a key that brings freedom, a weapon that brings victory, and a connection to limitless joy in all circumstances.
Discontentment dies every time you remember.
Gratitude is the perspective that looks back and considers God faithful. This enables your faith to look ahead, believing God is able.
Believe what God has already declared to be true about you. Resist the lies.
