Many in the hustle and bustle of life at times feel this very pain, struggling with trials, hopelessness, burdened down with problems and stress. In doing so they begin to experience guilt and self-condemnation. resulting in despair, depression and spirit of heaviness. Life can wear us down to a place of submitting to self-condemnation and its curse. God never promised us that life would be easy, or we would never be in any trials or tribulations. But one thing He did say was, *be of good cheer; for I have overcome the world.
