Discouragement for us as a result of the societial changes surrouding COVID.

But God is our sustainer. Our renewal comes through Him.
vs 7
Obstacles will be removed by God.
Too many live with a sense of fear rather than hope.
But we have the power of the Spirit to move mountains.
In times of discouragement we need to pray.
vs 10
God's work must not be despised because of it's small beginnings.
Don't be discourged with small beginnings.

Prayer - that those who are discouraged would look to God.
