Depression - Broken & Beautiful part 1 of 6

Depression. It affects 322 million people. One of them might be
you or someone close to you.

It's a real struggle that can't be "swept under the rug" with
happy thoughts. Fortunately, there's no need to hide it, no need
to run from it, no need to be embarrassed, to retreat from
community, nor to think any less of yourself.

Depression is a disease that God understands and wants to help
you with. Not necessarily by escaping from it with a snap of His
fingers, but by your dependency on Him drawing you closer to His
love, His hope, His healing.

God wants to meet you in the wilderness of depression, direct you
in it, and lead you out of it. Just as He has for so many and
just has He did for Elijah, a regular person on a journey
described in the Bible so many years ago.
