What does the Bible say to someone in the dark?If you are living under the weight of depression, hear this first: it is not a failure of your faith, and you are not alone. Some of the godliest people in the Bible - Elijah, Job, Jonah, even the apostle Paul - sank so low they wished to die. God did not scold them. He drew near, and He stayed.What the Bible Says About Depression is a gentle companion for the downcast soul. It does not try to explain your darkness away or hurry you out of it. It gathers one hundred of Scripture's most honest and hopeful verses and arranges them so the Bible's comfort can finally be found in one place - not cliches, but the real words of God for people in the dark.Organized into ten gentle themes, each of the 100 entries pairs a King James verse with a tender, non-shaming reflection - and a "Consider" prompt and space to write, if and when you have the energy. There is no schedule to keep; on a hard day, a single verse is enough.Inside you'll find: - 100 KJV verses of hope, in ten gentle sections- A tender, non-shaming reflection on every single verse- The stories of great believers who despaired - and were held by God- A "Consider" prompt and space to write honest words and prayers- Encouragement toward God and toward good help - faith and care are not rivalsThe ten themes move from the honest reality of despair, through the nearness of God in the dark, rest for the weary soul, honest lament, the renewing of the mind, hope when you feel hopeless, and strength in weakness - to the sure promise that light will come again, and that you were never meant to walk it alone.A meaningful gift for anyone walking through a dark season, and a companion to return to one verse at a time.
