Depression

Disappointment is inevitable, but how we choose to react when our realities don't align with our expectations will determine whether we persevere or succumb to despair. This plan will explore the scriptural response to disappointment to encourage us to trust in God even when we don't understand.

Your Emotional Health Matters

Dr. Clinton examines science, psychology, physiology, and other concepts to help you cope with anxiety, but the primary focus is on the consistency of God’s power, goodness, and love. Clinton adds, “It’s my prayer that as you continue reading, you’ll increasingly sense God’s peace for your mind and hope for your heart.”

Peace for Your Mind, Hope for Your Heart

Mental illness can make us feel extremely alone, like we’re the only ones with it, feeling like no one understands. Then shame loads on, self worth cripples, hope dissolves, and vision is blurred. Then we hit rock bottom. But let me tell you my friend, you are NEVER alone. You will never be alone as our God is omnipresent, available, listening, watching over you, and walking beside you. -Elle Limebear
