Despair can cause us to perform acts or behaviors that we would not normally do. It can cause us to become desperate and take over our mind in such a way that we lose all rational thinking.
In every trial or challenge, you need to have the proper perspective. As a Christian, one has to re-frame all experiences according to the God we serve. God may not have been the author of our situation but he will use it to accomplish his will.

Problems are always going to be there. Your strength comes from an ability to respond to these problems in an empowering way that can push you forward, rather than holding you back. Many times you simply cannot control what happens to you. What you can control, however, is your response to what happens. No one other than yourself can choose for you how to respond to your own situation.

God is pure love. His loves rains down upon us constantly, but many shield them selves from receiving His love because of their non-belief in Him or they choose not to obey Him.
We need protection from our enemies and what better place to get it than from God? Unlike man, God will always be there for us as long as we have faith in Him.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

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”. It’s 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 one’s 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 today’s 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 don’t 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
darkness’s 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
doesn’t 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.
13. Trust God
