How is your heart faring this Christmas season? Do you feel filled with hope, or despairing with hopelessness? For some of you, you may joyfully anticipate family gatherings, opening presents, and special Christmas Eve Services, celebrating Jesus, who came as a tiny baby in a manager 2000 years ago and became our Savior as an adult. Christmas can also stress us out, as we wrap presents, cook, clean, plan and prep. For some people, holiday stress runs deeper, wrought with pain, depression and sadness. You may be grieving the loss of a loved one, and the chair where they used to sit is empty. You may tense up, because your family is not very welcoming, and relationships are strained. You may be struggling with deep depression from past trauma or like me, with cancer from Christmas past. If you are struggling with despair this Christmas, the Lord Jesus sees and understands. He came to bring light in your darkness, hope to the hurting, peace in the chaos. In this week’s episode, we will revisit Episode 12 from February, the most popular and most often downloaded episode of 2024. “Feeling Hopeless? Three Ways God Fights for You in Deep Depression” was part of a five-part series on proclaiming the names of God from Isaiah 9:6, and how He intercedes for us through struggles with depression. If you need hope, tune in to 56-Nobody Knew How Dark My Mind Was: 3 Ways Mighty God Fights for You In Deep Depression.
