It has been said, “He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor.” Proverbs 13:4 (NKJV) says, “The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.” And Proverbs 10:4 (NKJV) further says, “He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.”

When faced with discouragement, struggles and disappointments in the midst of pursuing your dreams, don’t give up. You are not the first to go through hard times and discouragement. Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV) says, “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
