Finding God in depression

 

Having suffered from depression over a long period of time I have struggled to understand where God is when everything seems so negative and hopeless.  It’s hard to know why, just when we most need to know God’s presence with us, he seems further away than at any other time.  I haven’t found the answer to that yet, perhaps I never will, but I’d like to share some of the thoughts and ideas that have come to me along the way.
