Job 7:7

The World Health Organization estimates 350 million people suffer from depression globally, and depression knows no religious, racial, gender, or economic boundaries. But depression does have boundaries in terms of how it affects your life! As we journey towards a better understanding of depression and options you have, Dr. Bergina shares her knowledge and Biblical wisdom so that you too can put limits on depression and move towards complete recovery. The content in this devotional is taken from the book "Victory Over Depression With and Without Medicines" by Dr. Bergina Isbell.

Do you ever wake up wondering where your healing is? Do you ever question if God has forgotten you in your pain? I am here to tell you He hasn’t. Not once has He forgotten you. This study explores the definition of healing and what it means for believers. We don’t get a free pass from pain and suffering because we are believers, rather it gives us the opportunity to use it for His Kingdom. While healing can be brutal and devastating it can also be beautiful and encouraging, if you allow it, our God will use you.

The book of Job chronicles testing a righteous man's faith through suffering. Although Job's friends attempt to comfort him, it is only by God's revelation of His wisdom and might that Job finds true comfort. Even in deep suffering, God can do all things, and none of His purposes can be thwarted (Job 42:2).
