Depression, Stress, and Anxiety – Matthew 11:28-30
“When Your Mind Is Heavy: Jesus Wants to Carry It.”
Did you know that one of the greatest preachers of all time battled deep depression?
Charles Spurgeon, a man God used to preach to thousands, once said,
“I could weep by the hour like a child, and yet I knew not what I wept for.”
There were nights he couldn’t sleep, days he felt completely overwhelmed, and moments he questioned if he could keep going.
But Spurgeon said the only thing that kept him alive was this:
“When I could not hold on to Christ, Christ held on to me.”
His story reminds us that even the strongest believers fall into darkness —
but Jesus never lets them stay there.
