Seek the Great Physician if depressed

Depressed? Feel alone? Consider this: both Elijah and Jonah, prophets mightily used by God, were depressed to the point where they wanted God to end their lives. King Solomon had his fill of money, fame, women and materialism and couldn’t have been more unhappy. Peter was so upset with himself over his denial of Jesus that he returned, defeated, to his life as a Galilean fisherman. Even John the Baptist got discouraged. Remember that if these men of God could get discouraged, there’s nothing wrong with you feeling discouraged and depressed. Remember, Hebrews 13:5 says: “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for [God] hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
