DESPAIR

Despair

Despair is when you lose all confidence and
hope in yourself.
Despair can sometimes lead to suicide that is
caused by feelings of worthlessness and
inadequacy.  As we know in today’s society
suicide is a widespread and devastating
problem.  A lot of people don’t want to address
this issue.  It won’t just magically go away.  It
has to be addressed.
Despair is a demon and every person at one
time or another has this feeling.  In today’s
society we have many enemies but despair is
one of our greatest enemies.  Our joy is gone
and once that is the case we sometimes lose
the will to live.
Sometimes we blame our-self for things that
happen and we feel guilty about it.  This can
lead to despair.
Satan knows our weakness and tries to break
us down.  When this happens we turn to God’s
infinite understanding and let go of our inclination
to despair.
LET GO AND LET GOD GUIDE US.
