Encouragement in Spite of Life

Because of chains...people have been encouraged to speak boldly the Word of God courageously and fearfully. Philippians 1:14

Because of chains...the Gospel has not been squelched, but has prospered.
Progress can be made in spite of blows and opposition. The message is advanced.
Deep encouragement can happen during difficult circumstances.
Everyone on this side of heaven experiences problems and the pain of lonely living. How about you? Does life seem gray and hollow at the core? Are you afraid of rejection? Do you feel like giving up?
It is not over yet. Lift up your head. Be courageous and bold. God is in control. Be faithful and you will see light.

You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry. Psalm 10:17
