Journeys often confront a person with arduous ordeals which makes them susceptible to transformations. You can see this in 'I am Malala ' when Malala clashes with countless obstacles, causing her to adapt to her situation and speak out. This ultimately allows her to transform from a normal schoolgirl to a world known symbol of peace and equality. In contrast, though, some journeys are detrimental but inevitable due to prevailing circumstances as seen in Peter Skrzynecki’s 'Sailing to Australia '. This is because, even though Peter was deported to Australia, mentally he resides in his fond homeland memories.

Therefore, Paul offers courage to the believers and the task that encouragement. For in (v.7) Paul expresses having faith in the promises of God and not on what he sees then, he illiterates again in verse 8, about the courage which he has while expressing his desire to be with the Lord.

As Screwtape advises his nephew, "When they meant to pray for courage, let them really be trying to feel brave. When they say they are praying for forgiveness, let them try to feel forgiven. Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by its success in producing the desired feeling, and never let them suspect how much success or failure of that kind depends on whether they are well or ill, fresh or tired, at the moment" (Lewis, 16). The emotional rush that occurs when drawing near to the Holy Spirit is a feeling almost every Christian has experienced. New believers tend to use this feeling as their sole motivation for prayer, study, and worship.
