It comes unexpectedly and can last an entire lifetime. Depression is a serious issue that affects all of humanity – even Christians.
Winter is often cited as the most depressing time of year. The weather is dreary and New Year’s resolutions are failing. There is no better time to learn how Christians can face depression.
When depression strikes, we can feel anxious, sad and even afraid. Where do we turn when it feels like there’s nowhere left to go? We can run to Christ, a refuge of hope that never fails.
Recent studies show that 15 million Americans over the age of 18 are depressed. There is no instant cure for all symptoms of depression, but we can find hope and joy in the truth of God’s Word.
Where can we turn when we become stricken with shame or guilt? Some of us might turn to the world or even to ourselves – but Christ wants us to cry out to Him and experience grace.
