زەبوورەکان 1:69-5

In today’s world, we are on the brink of a mental health epidemic that estimates that 1 in 4 adults suffer from a diagnosable mental illness. Mental illness reaches across all boundary lines as depression and anxiety impact the church-goer just as much as those who don’t. So, what do we do with this? Join us for a 3-day journey through the Psalms as we discuss mental health.

In 100 carefully selected passages from the Bible, you will discover who Jesus is and why he is so significant – even life-transforming. Through both Old and New Testament readings, you will discover why God sent Jesus, what Jesus taught, how he treated people, why he did miracles, the meaning of his death, the significance of his resurrection, and what the Bible says about his second coming.

This 7 day plan will provide biblical truths to help sustain you through the deep waters of depression. Depression doesn’t have to cause you to drift away or knock you off the path God has for you. If you find yourself, like I did, in the deep waters of depression looking for an anchor, journey with me through the next 7 days as we find hope in the Word of God.

This devotional is an invitation to feel, to wrestle, to be fully awake in your suffering after miscarriage or other loss. It is also an invitation to be nurtured and understood and to hear from another woman that the pain gets better, even as we long for the day when our tears are wiped away and pain is no more. Wherever you are on your journey of grief after losing a baby—or any kind of personal heartache or suffering—I pray these words will be a gateway for God’s grace. Let’s dive deep together.
