Keir’s Reviews > Spurgeon's Sorrows: Realistic Hope for those who Suffer from Depression > Status Update

Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me (Ps. 69:15).

“Perhaps, nothing in life reminds us that we are not God, and that this earth is not heaven, like an indescribable distress that sometimes defies cause and has no immediate cure, or no cure at all.“

“The pastor, religious counselor, or friend must learn to account for the medical, psychological and behavioral realities of depression. Conversely, the medical, therapeutic, psychological or behavioral caregiver mustn't dismiss the contribution of spiritual realities to circumstantial and biological depression.”

“The mind can descend far lower than the body, for in it there are bottomless pits. The flesh can bear only a certain number of wounds and no more, but the soul can bleed in ten thousand ways, and die over and over again each hour.”
- Charles Spurgeon
