The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18)
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)
There is no single, one-step, one-size-fits-all answer for the person experiencing depression. And with depression being labeled the number one mental health problem in America, it can undeniably appear daunting and undefeatable.
But for the Christian, comfort can be found in the Scriptures as to the cause of such sadness, heaviness, or inability to function with normalcy. At Apex Biblical Christian Counseling, you will receive Hope, Help and Healing in dealing with causes of depression, so as not to remain "stuck" on dealing with symptoms.
So whether the root cause involves abuse, parental rejection, negative thinking, learned helplessness (feeling trapped and unable to remedy an intolerable situation), life stress, anger, guilt, or biological factors - there are godly answers to each. And the promises of God, by the power of God, CAN bring deliverance to the seeking soul who wants up and out of depression.
The Lord CAN and WANTS to "save the crushed in spirit." He CAN and DOES "heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds." It was the cry of King David, who experienced what we call depression: "I am completely discouraged - I lie in the dust. Revive me by your Word." (Psalm 119:25). God's Word has answers to your prayers.
