“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)
Experiencing depression can often feel like being engulfed in a dense fog that obscures the light of hope and joy. It is an arduous battle that many individuals endure, frequently in silence, grappling with profound feelings of sadness and isolation. Yet, amidst this turmoil, it’s crucial to remember that we are never truly alone in our struggles. The Scriptures offer us a powerful reminder that God draws near to those who are brokenhearted.
During our most challenging times, it may seem difficult to sense God’s presence. We might find ourselves questioning the reasons behind our suffering, feeling abandoned or overlooked. However, the comforting reality is that even in our darkest hours, God is intimately aware of our pain. He stands beside us, ready to offer solace and understanding, especially when we feel the weight of the world pressing down on our spirits.
As we journey through the valleys of depression, let us hold fast to the profound truth that God perceives our suffering, hears our cries for help, and is unwaveringly committed to walking alongside us. By leaning into His grace and love, we can begin to uncover glimmers of hope, even in the most profound darkness. Let us encourage one another and seek the light that God promises, trusting that brighter days are ahead.
“Hold onto the truth that God sees our pain, hears our cries, and is committed to walking alongside us.”

Heavenly Father, I come before You today, feeling overwhelmed by the heaviness of depression that weighs on my heart and mind.
