Pastor David Wilkerson addresses believers who are experiencing deep despair and considering giving up, showing that even the most righteous people in Scripture went through similar struggles.

Main Ideas:

• Even righteous, godly people like Job, Jeremiah, Elijah, and Paul the Apostle experienced periods of deep despair where they wanted to give up or die

• Job, despite being called perfect and upright by God, suffered so greatly that he wished he had never been born and wanted God to end his life

• Elijah, after great victories like calling down fire from heaven, fell into a 40-day depression hiding in a cave, feeling like a total failure

• Paul the Apostle, despite his revelations and miracles, experienced trouble in Asia that pressed him beyond his strength until he "despaired even of life"

• The solution is to cry out to God with everything you have, hold onto his promises in Scripture, and trust the Holy Spirit within you to make a way out

God promises to hear and deliver those who call upon him, and believers should reject fear and trust in his faithfulness.
