But we have many examples from Scripture of men and women of God struggling with depression. Isaiah called it being “undone.” Jeremiah said he wished he’d never been born. Moses asked God to blot him out of the Book of Life, and Jonah said that for him, death was better than life. Job’s struggles are a continuing saga throughout the book that bears his name. Even Jesus, entering into a time of intense prayer in the garden of Gethsemane, was in “great despair.”
