Night after night the darkness would creep inside my heart and I would lie awake crying - for no reason. I begged God for relief or even to give me a reason. Nothing changed and so I stopped praying for a time. 

Like the author of Psalm 39, I thought maybe if I just stay silent things would be fine. I never ever talked about my depression with friends or family (other than my husband). I thought if I just didn’t think about it or mention it, it wouldn't be real.

But anxiety and depression can’t be ignored. You can’t push the feelings down forever. Eventually I began to pray again about my depression. Listen to this week's episode to discover how a view of eternity actually helps give us hope at night.

Read Psalm 39 here.*
