Narrative: Welcome to Insights on Healing Podcast. Our Episode title is, “When You Feel Like Giving Up: You will learn that your feeling is a trick of the enemy and God is at your side.

I am Joan M. Blake, an author, and I am your host. Insights on Healing Podcast includes the reading of scripture, praying, reading from one of my books, or interviewing individuals who found purpose in their lives through the healing power of God.

The purpose of this podcast is to provide content which brings emotional healing and restoration to mothers who have had a difficult past and are currently experiencing difficulties. A focal point of this podcast is reflecting on scripture verses and praying for my audience. I pray as you listen to this episode, that God would bless you with inner strength, purpose, and provide you with the hope that you have been longing for.

What is your situation like that makes you feel like giving up. If you are a student, you have a lot of classes and papers to finish and you feel overwhelmed, you may be in a marriage and you are feeling lost and bewildered, you may be a mother or a caregiver and you are burned out. Whatever your situation, you feel lost and you feel like giving up, but that is not God’s answer for you regardless of the situation you are in. I want you to look at the following list of five scriptures that should encourage you to look up:

1.  Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) – “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

2.  Galatians 6:9 (NIV) – “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

3. Psalm 34:17-18 (NIV) – “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

4.  2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV) – “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

5.Philippians 4:13 (NIV) – “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
