Desperate

Kurt Holm, Pastor, The Creek Covenant Church (Walnut Creek)

Desperate. It’s not a place I like to be. It conveys a sense of weakness and helplessness. It’s a feeling of emptiness, which I guess is the prerequisite for desperation. Desperation is an overwhelming need in my life that is beyond my ability to meet. Our world would define desperation as something to be avoided at all costs. Who wants to appear so needy and out of control? Not me. However, contrary to the way we think, desperation is not a bad thing. From a spiritual perspective, there are promises of God that cannot be experienced apart from a sense of desperation. Desperate people show extreme urgency, intensity and courage.
