4 Bible Verses about Not Discouraged

Joseph of Arimathea, a highly honored member of the council, who was himself looking for the kingdom of God, ventured to go to Pilate and ask for Jesus' body.

Now He told them the following story to show how necessary it is for people always to pray and never to give up:

So I am always cheerful and confident, although I know that as long as I am at home in the body I am away from home and the Lord

and yet I am cheerful and confident, but really I prefer to be away from home in the body and to be at home with the Lord.
