Does the bible have anything to say about sadness and depression or is it silent to this issue? In our study of psalm 42, we will encounter a severely depressed person. We will also discuss the cause of his depression and get some battle tested encouragements for winning the fight. So grab your bibles and strap up. Let's win this fight against sadness and depression.

Is it the same love that a person has for their spouse, children, parents or even favorite hobby? Or could God's love be much deeper than that, beyond our understanding and to the point that we could say that God is deeply in love with me or even crazy in love with me? Let's examine the scriptures to see what we find.
