Have You Felt like Giving Up Lately?: Finding Hope and Healing When You Feel Discouraged
Overview
We all experiences times of sadness, trials, and pain. But what happens when grief and depression seem so overwhelming that we feel like simply giving up? As the founder of World Challenge, Inc., David Wilkerson worked with troubled people of every kind. In this encouraging book, he examines the universal problem of discouragement and offers you real hope for the days, weeks, months, and years ahead. He shows you how to win over temptation, lay down your guilt, trust God to bring you through the storm, achieve victory over sin, wait on God’s answers to prayer, and much more.
Only God can conquer your pain. With powerful true stories and wisdom gleaned from a lifetime of service, Wilkerson gently guides you to the point of giving it over to God and believing that he will work miracles in your life.

Top Highlights
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper’ (Isa. 54:17).” (Page 18)
“Resurrection from the dead is the ‘ultimate healing.” (Page 149)
“It makes you feel there is something terribly wrong with you. You question your spiritual depth, and at times, you even question your sanity. From somewhere deep inside you, a voice whispers, ‘Maybe I’m defective, somehow. Maybe I’m being hurt so deeply because God can’t see much good in me. I must be so out of His will; He has to discipline me to make me obedient.’” (Page 11)
“But night falls, and with it comes the terror of spiritual agony. Pain is always worse in the night. Loneliness falls like a cloud, when the sun disappears. The hurting explodes when you are all alone, trying to understand how to cope with the inner voices and fears that keep surfacing.” (Pages 11–12)
“But prayer and faith are the avenues by which we become the givers to God. They are to be used, not as ways to get things from God, but as ways to give Him those things by which we can please Him.” (Page 126)
