I can presume that everything is going so wrong and bad that God has forgotten about me or that things are beyond His control, neither of which is true. But I can allow myself to sink into a mood of despair where I have no business being.
This may sound foolish, but I can easily not live in the reality of what is true about God.
For instance, I can sincerely confess sin to Him and resolve to turn from it and He forgives me.
But I can live as if He is still holding it against me and not enjoy and appreciate His forgiveness.
