Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. Psalm 42:11 (ESV)
Dealing With Depression
Are you ever overwhelmed by anxious, hostile, or worrisome thoughts? Feelings of depression?
The theme for this meditation from Psalm 42 is dealing with depression. Depression is real. And when you are experiencing depressive feelings, it can be so hard to seek God as your hope and help. But choosing to be here, you are taking an important first step.
Let me pray a prayer of blessing over you that even though your adversaries taunt you as if crushing your bones, while all day long they say to me, “Where is your God?” Remember to put your hope in God, to still praise him. May his promise be your healing, may his love be your desire, and his presence is what guides you both through darkness and when your skies are far from gray. And may the peace of Christ be with you now and always, Amen.
