The laws of fairness and justice were displaced by a couple of Murphy's Laws. Your dream dissolved into a nightmare. High hopes took a hike. Good intentions got lost in a comedy of errors, only time nobody was laughing...You felt like telling Bunyan to move over as you slid down into his Slough of Despond near doubting castle...
Discouragement may be awful, but it is not terminal.
God has an ultimate goal in mind: that we might have hope. And what leads to such a goal? Two things: perseverance and encouragement from the scriptures. Again, the goal is hope. God has not designed a life of despondency for us. He wants His people to have hope... through endurance and through encouragement from the Scriptures.
