Depression and Hopelessness

"Why are you in despair, O my soul? Hope in God — for I shall again praise Him. He meets me in my depression with care, not condemnation. He gives me beauty for ashes and a garment of praise for my disheartened spirit. The God of hope fills me with all joy and peace. His mercies are new every morning — great is His faithfulness. I hold onto this in the dark because it is truer than how I feel."
