The Bible does not shy away from depression and despair. The Psalms are full of honest cries from people who felt overwhelmed, yet again and again they turn toward God. Psalm 34:8 invites the downcast to "taste and see that the Lord is good," and Psalm 30:5 promises that "weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."
When discouragement whispers that we are alone, Isaiah 41:10 answers with God's promise to strengthen, help, and uphold us, and Psalm 147:3 assures us that he heals the brokenhearted. These verses do not minimize the darkness, but they point steadily to the God who stays close within it.
