Great luminaries of faith like Moses, Elijah, David, and Jeremiah all wrestled with devastating despair. Hebrews reassures God's chosen saints that depression is not a failure of faith, but instead a human struggle which we can only meet with divine strength. Depression can have emotional, spiritual, and physical causes. Elijah's story presents four divine remedies: rest and renewal, restored faith and focus, realistic hope, and obedient action in God's presence. We must face depression with honesty, compassion, including self-compassion, and unwavering trust in Almighty God's sustaining grace.
