Depression
Scripture and encouragement for seasons of depression and emotional heaviness.
Selected Sub-Tab
Psalm 34:18
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Depression often makes a person feel utterly alone. This verse declares the opposite: God draws especially near to the brokenhearted. He does not wait for recovery before coming close. His presence itself is the beginning of help for the crushed spirit.
