Depression crushes millions of people around the world with its tremedous weight of dispair. It can lead to severe mental illness, and in most cases, physical illness as well. How are we as humans supposed to deal with depression and heart ache in our lives? God tells us that he is close to us always, especially when we are crushed in spirit or brokenhearted. When you feel low or like something is overwhelming you with sadness, take heart, the Lord is with you.
