 "question": "How can we hope to give other people encouragement if we are discouraged?",
 "answer": "We have to allow God the Holy Spirit to perform His work in us first. If we have not received the Spirit's ministry to us, we cannot expect Him to have a ministry through us to other people. Jesus promised that ministry: \"But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you\" (John 16:7).",
