Scripture and encouragement for sadness, grief, and discouragement.
Selected Sub-Tab
Psalm 55:22
"Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken."
The instruction is active: cast the cares. The promise is sustaining power and unshakable holding. Depression often multiplies cares until they feel unbearable. This verse authorizes the deliberate transfer of that weight onto the Lord, who is strong enough to carry it and committed to sustaining the one who releases it.
