1
Reaching the Point of Desperation

2
Despair Can Lead To Desperation There is a place
that no one wants reach in their life. It is a
cold, dark and sometimes lonely place and it is
called Despair. Its a negative feeling of
hopelessness, one that can cause us to think
and/or behave irrationally. It can wreck havoc on
our well-being and our emotional state.
3
Being in despair can be caused by many different
reasons or causes like Having lost a job and
not being able to find one which can lead to
negative thoughts of losing ones home and
thinking about living on the streets. It can get
worse if a person or a couple have children to
feed, clothe and shelter. Not being able to pay
your bills which can lead to repossession of
furniture or a vehicle.
4
A family member or someone you love dearly has
fallen ill or has been in a terrible accident
where their outcome looks grim. You could lose
hope that they may not recover. You may have also
received bad news about a health condition that
may be of serious concern.
5
You could be overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle
of todays world. Not enough time to accomplish
the many demands that daily life is throwing at
you which leaves you with no time to relax. These
things can deprive you of sleep, cause stress and
possible medical issues.
6
There are many more reasons or causes that could
make us become a victim of despair. The economy,
our government, politicians, world events, local
events, our children, marriage, and so on, but
when you come right down to it, negative emotions
like, worries, fears and depression are usually
what puts us into despair.
7
Being in despair can be a dangerous place. By
reaching the point of desperation, we can become
a totally different person than we would normally
be. We could lose our mind in such a way that we
will no longer be thinking rationally. Our
thought process changes to where our judgment
between right and wrong can become distorted.
8
People have lost all hope in the normal way of
life where they have chosen to commit crimes
like, burglary, armed robbery, embezzlement,
theft, and/or shoplifting. When times look tough
and we lose hope and become desperate, our
survival mode kicks in. How we chose to address
our situation is something that we need to
prepare ourselves for so that we dont end up
like others have.
9
For instance, there have been people who wiped
out their entire family, committed suicide or
even both. Falling into depression because of
despair can cause some people to do these things
and the main problem about it is that we cannot
be sure if we will fall victim to this dark state
or can we?
10
Prepare For Hardships We must prepare our selves
for the worst possible scenario that can happen
to us. The way to do this is to build up our
faith in God. Jesus can help us by showing us the
way. He will teach us all we need to know about
how to deal with the many different types of
darknesss that can plague us. He will help us to
grow strong spiritually so that we can stand
strong and have our faith secured in God knowing
that He will always be there for us.
11
You have to ask yourself some questions like, If
the bottom dropped out from under you, what would
you do? Would you fall apart? Could you
handle losing your house, or your job? If you
are a believer in God, Is your faith strong
enough to handle any hardship, test or trial.
12
Reaching the point of desperation doesnt have to
happen to us. We only need to prepare ourselves
and trust God that He will be there for us. Grow
close to God and believe that He will be there
for you! God Bless You.
