depression

Depression is a problem I think every person faces, at times. Jesus, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief was depressed, even bemoaning that He had no place to lay his head.

But there are different levels of depression that people experience. It doesn’t matter if you are a pastor or layman, depression is an issue.

Some of the godliest people struggled with depression. Elijah was one of them. Whether Jesus, as “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief” was ever depressed may be a matter of semantics.

Depression can come from various sources, IMO. Some people are genetically predisposed to operate in a mildly depressed state — at least most of the time. Others rarely struggle with depression.
