Working Through Depression

Delight in the Word

by Paul Tautges

Depression is crippling. It leaves you unwilling and sometimes not even caring to function normally. You may feel sad and angry. Or you may not feel at all. You may simply be numb. Did you know the man who wrote the greatest poem exalting the beauties of the Word of God, Psalm 119, battled depression? So how did King David go from depression to joy? He worked through his depression, and you can too. Let me show you how.
