Despair

Despair… Been there done that is the contemporary statement. If you are a Christian and haven’t been in that place of anguish, you probably will before life concludes. Does the Bible address the subject? Glad you asked.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

2 Corinthians 12:9 

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

He knows what we can handle, and most times it is more than we believe we can. When we see Him provide for us then, we appreciate Him all the more for the strength He is giving.  Give it some thought.
