What should believers do when tempted to despair?

Answered in 1 source

Believers should remember the promises of God and approach His throne for grace and help in times of need.

When believers face temptations to despair, they are encouraged to hold fast to the promises found in Scripture. Hebrews 10:23 exhorts us to 'hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised.' This reminds us that God's faithfulness to His promises is our source of hope. Moreover, Hebrews 4:16 reassures believers to approach the throne of grace boldly to obtain mercy and find grace in their time of need. Such actions reflect a reliance on Christ's sufficiency rather than our circumstances. It calls for believers to engage in prayer, worship, and the reading of Scripture, drawing strength and encouragement from the truth of the Gospel, and from the support of the Christian community.
