“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
What is Depression?
Depression is a deep, persistent sadness, hopelessness, or lack of motivation that affects the mind, body, and soul. You will know that you are going through depression when you start experiencing unexplained fatigue, loss of interest in life, irritability, sleep issues, and even feelings of worthlessness. It would be wrong to say that depression is always caused by sin or even by lack of faith, but we can say that it is a form of human suffering and the Bible does not hide this.
Example Of God fearing People In The Bible Who Struggled With Depression.
David: “Why are you cast down, O my soul?” (Psalm 42:11) Elijah: “I have had enough, Lord… take my life.” (1 Kings 19:4) Job: Cursed the day of his birth (Job 20:14) Jeremiah: Called the “weeping prophet” (Jeremiah 31:15)
This are just but a few of the people mentioned in the bible who went through a season of depression in their lives. So You’re not alone. Many heroes of the faith walked through the valley of depression and God walked with them. Inshort You are not alone. Heaven is fighting for you. Always remember that Jesus sat with the broken and He still does even today.
Let’s Pray:
