Bereavement,
hardship, divorce – the Word of God speaks of these difficulties in Job
and in the words of Jesus. These things can bring on deep depression.
We see this in Job’s reaction to his bereavement and hardship. In such
circumstances, we must take our thoughts to the Lord, even if, as in the
case of Job, the pouring out of the soul to the Lord doesn’t seem to
be a very positive thing. It is to the Lord that we cry. When we do
this, we keep open our lifeline to Him. He will renew our strength. He
will lift us out of our trouble. Whatever trouble we face, we must learn
to say, with the Psalmist: ”Hear, O Lord, my righteous plea; listen to
my cry. Give ear to my prayer … ” (Psalm 17:1).
