Finding Hope in Depression • Psalm 43
The psalmist pleads with God. He brings his light and truth through his Word and his presence, which are the best way out of depression.

Facing traumatic loss is about keeping our sanity and taking care of those who depend on us, all the while deciding how we are going to face this new unwelcome reality. I learned at so many points that I had to look straight at the loss or I could not find comfort.
There are times in our lives to mourn and grieve, but it is so important not to lose hope. For those of us who know Jesus, we cling to an everlasting hope. As we grieve and mourn, let us also remember to encourage each other, to look for the joy in life no matter where we go.
We are not left in the despair of lament, for even from the depths of chaos, there is a confidence, a deep sense of trust, in God for living expectantly.
