As mentioned in the question, the verses mentioned are
**Surah Im'ran: Verse 146**
> And how many a prophet [fought and] with him fought many religious
> scholars. But they never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in
> the cause of Allah, nor did they weaken or submit. And Allah loves the
> steadfast.
and
**Surah Baqarah: Verse 214**
> Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has
> not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They
> were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even
> their] messenger and those who believed with him said,"When is the
> help of Allah ?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near.
The question is that Surah Im'ran's verse mentions the fact that true believers and their prophets were **not** weakened when they faced adversities. However, Surah Baqarah mentions a slight counter-statement towards it by stating that prophets(together with their believers) were indeed **shakened** (*which is natural considering the adversities they faced*) and even got a "bit irresolute" when they cried out regarding the help of Allah. IMO both of these verses slightly contradict each other.
Am I missing any important context/commentary here?
