Even the strongest believers have moments of deep sadness. Elijah is one of those people that you wouldn’t expect to have struggled with depression. He was a prophet who had seen God do incredible things, but there was a time where he found himself exhausted and hopeless despite knowing God’s goodness.
Depression and despair are real struggles in the Bible. But know that God didn’t shame Elijah. He cared for him, gave him rest, and reminded him he wasn’t alone. If you’re struggling with depression, know that God sees you and wants to meet you in your pain. He doesn’t condemn you for feeling low. He’s ready to meet you there, sustain you, and give you hope to keep going.
What would it look like for you to let God meet you in your struggles instead of trying to push through on your own?
