Do you ever ask God to end your life now, thinking it be better to die than live? As man is a social being, without proper support from fellow men, he loses the will to live. Despair and depression are terrible things to struggle through. Worse, the devil preys upon it. Even great personages from the Bible struggled with this, such as Job, Elias, Tobit and Sarah. Three major points of commonality they had: [1] Living in a time of God's wrath; [2] None gave up on God; and [3] Despair was trigged by a failure in human relations (barbed words). These conditions are present today and many are falling into despair. To resist this tendency we should: (1) Pray, (2) Do penance, (3) Remain under God's authority, (4) Avoid barbed words as much as possible, and (5) Patiently trust in God. Thus the saints overcame their despair and fulfilled the plan of God in such a marvelous way that we still admire them to this very day.
