What should we do when we feel discouraged in our work for God?

Discouragement can often accompany the work of ministry, as evidenced in the experiences of many biblical figures such as Moses and Jeremiah. Spurgeon emphasizes the importance of persevering in prayer and maintaining a focus on God's expectations rather than human evaluations. When we feel ineffective or sidelined, it is vital to remember that our identity and worth are not measured by visible results but by our faithfulness to God's calling. God honors our labor, regardless of the immediate fruits of our efforts, reassuring us that all our service, no matter how unseen, contributes to His greater plan. Thus, we should press on in faith, asking for God's strength and grace.
