Deep in the winter woods, red squirrels have a surprising habit involving maple trees, patience, and a reward that's far sweeter than it first appears. It's a fascinating glimpse into the wisdom God has woven into creation - and a gentle reminder that His timing is often worth waiting for.

“O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all.” – Psalm 104:24

𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻?

Depression is more common than many realise.

In South Africa, an estimated 1 in 6 people will experience depression, anxiety, or a substance-related mental health challenge during their lifetime. Yet despite its prevalence, many Christians continue to wrestle with questions about faith, suffering, and emotional pain.

Does depression indicate a lack of faith? Is it simply a spiritual issue? Or is the reality more complex?

Depression can affect every area of life ~ emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. While Scripture offers hope, comfort, and truth, healing may also involve practical support, counselling, medical care, and the encouragement of fellow believers.

If you are struggling, remember this: depression is not always a sign of weak faith or personal failure. You are not alone, and you are not beyond God's reach.

📖 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Psalm 34:18

Read the full article in the latest issue of JOY! as we explore a biblical perspective on depression, its causes, and the hope that can be found even in the darkest valleys.
