Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station.

On today's edition, a pathway to victory.

How do you handle discouragement?

Well, if somebody says what we just need to pray about it,

if your tire goes flat, you can pray all you want to,

but eventually the tower has to be inflated.

Same way with discouragement, yes, we ought to pray,

but discouraged people need to be encouraged.

And I want to show you how Nehemiah illustrates how to be encouraged when you're facing discouragement.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

We all feel sad and dejected from time to time,

but for a lot of folks, discouragement becomes less of a passing feeling and more of a permanent state of mind.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress points to a great leader named Nehemiah,

who shows us how to escape the emotional depths of despair.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks, David, and welcome again to a brand new week of Bible teaching on Pathway to Victory.

Our focus for the entire month of May is called Invincible.

This is a practical teaching series that identifies some of the most common roadblocks in life.

In each case, God has provided a way for us to circumvent or even conquer every barrier.

Today, for example, I'm going to address the obstacle of discouragement.

How do we defeat this common barrier that separates us from God's blessings?
