1 | Know any scriptures for Depression? | Bible general Archive 4 | srbaegon | 204006 | ||
Hello Tamara, There are some examples of depressed people in Scripture and how their need was addressed. Each person was ministered to according to their need, so that their thinking and conduct could be righted. 1. Elijah went through a series of highs and lows so that he wanted to die (1 Kings 19:4). God sent him food, met him in the "sound of a low whisper" (ESV translation), and reassured the prophet that he did not stand alone. 2. Job had his children and possessions destroyed followed by a disease-racked body and "comfort" of thoughtless friends. Job was sure it would have been better to not be born, though he would have assurance before his friends of standing innocent before God. God had to remind Job who was sovereign over all which caused the self-pity to end (Job 42:1-6). 3. Naomi had her husband and sons taken in death. Grieving, she also tried to send both daughters-in-law away though Ruth refused. God used Ruth's faithfulness to restore Naomi's joy through the child born (Ruth 4:17). In conclusion, there is no simple answer but to point the people to Christ and his assurance. Steve |
