Depression (3 of 4)
Series: What Does the Bible Say
Josh Malone
1 Kings 19:1-18
Many times we have a tendency to take something like depression that sometimes must be treated medically and put it over in a box and say well that's only a ''medical issue.'' OR ''That's not something Christians struggle with we have the joy of the Lord!'' - We certainly have the joy of the Lord, and we also live in a fallen world. We also live in bodies that get sick, bad things happen, and yes we also sin. We aren't in Heaven, and we have not been perfected.
While at times people fail to address it... God doesn't. God allows us to see some of the great people of our faith... DEPRESSED. - The Bible is RAW TRUTH for real people, not a domesticated pep talk for people with no real problems.

4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he asked that he might die, saying, ''It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.'' 5 And he lay down and slept under a broom tree. And behold, an angel touched him and said to him, ''Arise and eat.'' 6 And he looked, and beho ...
