"Despair" is not a good or fun or nice thing to have to live through. BUT there was a time when if you were a Christian and you were "suffering" people told you there was something WRONG with your faith. (Like you might be hiding "secret sin" because God actually wants you to be rich and happy ALL the time).
Well, a LOT of people have re-vamped their attitude on suffering. Not even every Christian minister will tell you that God doesn't want you to suffer. So maybe it's time to take another look at "Despair" too. Just like "Pornography" or "Wife Beating" or a million other things that Christians face COMPLETELY ALONE. Because we are definitely NOT "cutting it". And it's not good to pretend everything is fine, ... when it isn't.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:8 (NIV Bible)
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.
2 Corinthians 1:8 (NIV Bible)
