There is no shame in being overwhelmed by your circumstances--when a loved one is taken by death, when disease rears its ugly head, when your family is ripped apart or when your heart is broken.
Praise The Lord, Jesus understands our times of weeping and brokenness. He had such a time of His own (Luke 22:44).
Some of God's servants went through times of deep emotional distress.
- DAVID--When his beloved Absalom was killed (2 Sam. 18:33)
- JOB-- When he lost his children, possessions, and his health (Job 3:3,11)
- ELIJAH--When revival didn't fall after the experience on Mt. Carmel (1 Kings 19).
- MOSES--When he was overwhelmed with all that he had to do (Num. 11:11-15).
The Lord can handle depression or anything you have to tell Him. He'll stand by you and comfort you.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
