Depression is like being caught in a deep pit of thick mud. Your feet are stuck in a dark hole with seemingly no hope of escape. But God is able to lift you from the pit of despair and out of the miry clay. Counseling and medication are key when it comes to addressing depression, but so are prayer and God’s Word. Turn to the Lord, the only one who can bring you ultimate hope and healing.
