When the waves of depression keep crashing and hope feels far away, Psalm 43 offers a lifeline. Like the Psalmist, we can turn our pain into prayer, invite God’s light and truth to lead us, and begin to preach hope to our weary souls.
When anxiety threatened to hold me back, God gently invited me to step out in faith. At a seminar on peace, His Word reminded me that I am not alone, that His promises are true, and that His peace can calm every storm of fear.
I know it’s hard to talk about it, but if you are ever depressed (sad, lonely, scared, or feeling hopeless) and suicidal, PLEASE try to remember that you are NOT alone. Reach out to someone, even if you must reach out to a 911 operator.
