You may feel alone and abandoned but God sees you. The writer of Psalm 42 of the bible was struggling with depression and sadness. He experienced God’s love and writes these words: “By day the Lord directs his love

towards me, by night his song is with me.”

Day and night when you are struggling with depression God directs his healing, sustaining, empowering and

forgiving love towards you.

 

God directs his love towards you through a pastor or the community of a church. God enables and equips the church to speak with authority the truth of God’s love and his perfect plan for your life.

• When you feel defeated: The truth is you are more than a conqueror through Him who loves you!
• When you feel alone: The truth is God never leaves you nor forsakes you.
• If you feel life’s not worth living: The truth is God has plans for you, to prosper you

and to give you purpose.

• If you feel unlovable: The truth is God loves you with a love that cannot be measured.

God directs his love towards you through the scriptures. The bible declares all of God’s truth and promises. God’s word does not change and cannot be broken.

• Truth: God’s mercy is new every morning.
• Truth: God’s with you always.
• Truth: God’s love for you cannot be changed or broken.
• Truth: God’s faithful.

 

God directs his love towards you through the people of the church. We are not there to fix you but to love you and be there for you. There are no quick answers to depression, but we gather around you, spend time with you, pray with you, and help lift your burdens.

God directs his love towards you through wise doctors and counselors and good medication. There is nothing small about your faith if there are pills in your bathroom.

God directs his love towards you through the savior. Jesus is not up in the sky somewhere far away and distant. Jesus is close. Jesus is right there with you in the midst of the pain.
