The definition of the dictionary describes it as such: despair is to lose all hope, to be overcome sense of futility or defeat, the complete loss of hope.when thinking heard from God to do something, you have a vision and know it is from god but …things do not happen as expected.
Eample in the Bible where Jesus told His disciples to go on the other side of the lake. That was easy but from one side to the other of that lake the hurricane hit and they were afraid for their lives.It is no fun to be on the water in a storm of hurricane . what is Jesus’ response at their fear? He said: "Where is your faith?" Christ rebuk ed the sea and the wind and there was a great calm. All were astonished to see His authority over the storm.
We have fought the night with problems too large to be borne. We have prayed into , seeking a God we know is there but how cannot reach from the depths of our despair.We have wept bitter tears of loneliness. We have dismissed others' proferred aid as meaningless, because nobody could appreciate our special needs....
Jesus said , the Truth and Life, this way, too - the despair, the utter aloneness. despair is a deep steep valley that will bring you to new levels of peace and joy if you ask God for strength. Just as many people already experienced, I can also say that - "What does not kill you makes you stronger!" It is true! through Christ learn that despair is the sign of the workings of the Spirit, our souls of dross.
We spend much more time than we realize in our mind, trying to control everything and to find an explanation for all the things that happen to us but often times we don’t even have the right explanation anyway.
