Don't Bear Your Pain Alone

May 17, 2021

When you are struggling with depression or hopelessness, God often brings people into your life who’ve been there – fellow sufferers who have learned to cling to Christ and his promises. You are not meant to bear pain alone. Reach out to a friend, or even a biblical counselor, who can weep with you and point you to the God of all hope.

If you are struggling with depression, reach out to the Response Department at Joni and Friends.
