“By definition, the word depression is a state of being low. While feelings of depression and even a clinical diagnosis have layers that extend far beyond our time together on this journey, we have a hope that can help us climb out of any pit we may find ourselves in. Our hope is in Jesus, God’s only son who bent down low to be with us.
As we enter into the third week of our journey through Scripture, I want you to know that you are not alone. Or maybe you’re on this journey for someone you love–you’re also not alone. Not only do I know this from experience, but the Bible reminds us of this at every turn in the book of Psalms. Nearly half of the psalms are categorized as lament psalms, expressing pain, sorrow, distress, and despair. However, in almost every psalm of lament, it ends with two things: a vow to trust God and a promise to praise Him.
So when we find ourselves in the depths of depressive thoughts, we have a way out. And when someone we love is hurting, we have a way to petition to heaven on their behalf.” —Louie Giglio
