We live in a fallen world, and the pain and struggles of this life effect us all, mentally and physically. Depression is a common experience, effecting many of us at some point in our lives.
But for some, the dark pain of depression is worsened by the shame and guilt that can come when a Christian gets depressed.

Thank you for the article ” Yes, Good Christians Get Depressed”, I was feeling depressed because of living with constant pain in my knees, back and gums. I was feeling depressed because God knew how I hurt my knees and Gums and the Veterans Administration kept turning me down. After reading this article and remembering if I have the faith of a mustard seed, God will prevail in this situation.
Thank you for bringing back the righteousness that dwells deep inside of me. I have always enjoyed reading Inspired Womans Magazine and I write poems that I believe one day will help others to heal, but I wasn’t applying it to my self. Thank you
for the word of God, for he truly is the light of my situation and I need to rejoice in him and stop worrying about what man has done to me and know that My God is a healer and he bless us everyday with Life. Thanks I enjoyed your article.
this is the first time I’ve heard of quiet-times with Jesus being called meditation, that’s more of what the world uses when they pratice Eastern ways…I know very strongly what depression can do and has done to my life for over 20 years…I don’t understand and I cry and cry out days and nights to be released from the illness I deal with which are so limiting I can’t do much but stand bedside…as much as i cry-out to be more assesible and be able to have divine appts with others of my brethen or the unsaved..it remain very little…The joy that can never to taken away from my life is my ongoing, ongrowing personal relationship with our personal Savior Jesus Christ..I have been on medications for depression for over the last 20 years and counseling but there are still times that something overtakes me that I can’t seem to shakeoff with an overabundance of tears…thank you for the article ..it was good to hear that yes even believers in Jesus Christ can still be depressed after all the talking and medications…
