Depression doesn't have to crush or control us. If we're mired in the darkness of despair or on the verge of exhaustion, let's listen carefully: we may hear God whispering to us, calling us back from the pit; we're not doomed to stay there. We need to open our hearts to experience His presence once again and allow His Word to renew our weary souls. Let's remember that the Lord loves us and is fascinated by restoring those with broken hearts.
