when you are faced with these obstacles, these tests, these trials, do not let them discourage you. Do not be downcast about them, or worried that they will not be solved, or that victories will not be won; for I say to you, they will, for it is part of the cycle. But you must go through this portion of the cycle to come out at the other end with victory.
Look back on the past and think of the times of testing, the times when it looked like you were defeated, the times when you felt like giving up, the times when the problems swirled about you. But because you hung on, you went through the cycle, you sought Me, you fought, you received My answers and you implemented them, victory was brought about. Remember this; always remember this.
Remember that there are cycles that you pass through. But when you are in the lowest part of the cycle, that is when you must cry out to Me and hang on to Me and trust Me the most, because all about you looks like tests and trials, like defeat and discouragement. That is when you must look to Me, and I will guide you and direct you to bring you out of that portion of the cycle, and into the victorious portion.
