Depression

Hope when the lights feel out.

Key scriptures

Psalm 34:18

"The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."

Psalm 42:11

"Why art thou cast down, O my soul?... hope thou in God."

Isaiah 61:3

"...to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness."

What this means

God is near to the broken-hearted. You are not abandoned. Talk to Him, talk to a real person, and take the next small step.

A prayer to pray

Father, You see me in this. Lift my head. Send help. I choose to hope in You again.

Practical action

Tell one safe person how you really are today. Don't hide.
