God As King | Dealing With Depression

After a dramatic spiritual victory, Elijah finds himself in a deep valley of fear, exhaustion, and despair, asking God to take his life. This poignant moment reminds us that even faithful followers of God can face depression, discouragement, and emotional burnout. Yet in Elijah’s lowest point, God does not shame or abandon him. Instead, He sends an angel with food, rest, and gentle encouragement. In this, we see that God meets us in our weakness with grace and care, reminding us that the journey is too much for us alone, but not too much for Him.

As modern believers, we too face emotional and physical depletion. Life’s constant demands can leave us empty, but God still nourishes our souls through His Word, Spirit, and people. We are not alone. Our healing begins when we stop, rest, and receive from the One who strengthens us for the road ahead. Let God’s presence be your sustenance today.
