I remembered once when I felt desperate was a couple of years ago when there was a black-out in the whole country for a couple of hours in the afternoon. I was out from my office for a meeting and din't realised i had no money left in my purse. Since it was a black-out, I couldn't withdraw money from the bank. It was well past 2'o clock and i was feeling very hungry. There was nobody i knew there and it would take me sometime before I can go back to my office. For once I had no money to even buy a pack of mamee junk food (RM0.30) and I was seriously thirsty and hungry. For a moment it was desperation. 
Well, Saul of course was more desperate for sure than me. His life, his people, his country was at stake here. The enemies, Philistines were already camping outside ready to attack. The bible says terror filled his heart. Wow...he is scared to his bones. He called out to the only one he knew could help him, that is God himself. But God had already rejected Saul for his disobedience and 'doing wrong also want to say dint do wrong' kinda attitude. Saul is on his own now and guessed what he did? He did something he himself banned people to do coz it against God....seeking the help of a medium. The end? He got told to his face that dooms day was the very next day.
In our desperation, the person we need most is God. Let us continue to walk faithfully with Him and we won't end up like King Saul, who has only himself to blame.
