Two Types of Desperation

1. Blind desperation. This drives one to drink, abuse drugs, get entangled in unhealthy relationships, or seek help from dangerous sources (Eastern religions).

2. Clear sighted desperation. This drives one to pray, fast, repent, and develop a deeper biblical faith.

    Sometimes I feel myself sinking from #2 to #1. It's tough.
