Depression

Selected Sub-Tab

Isaiah 43:1-2

"But now, this is what the Lord says, he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you."

God claims His people by name and promises presence through deep waters. Depression may feel like overwhelming floods. The assurance is not the absence of waters but the accompanying presence of the Redeemer who will not let them sweep over His own.
