I know, perhaps as well as anyone, what depression means, and what it is to feel myself sinking lower and lower.

Trusting in Jesus Christ my Savior, there is still a blessed quietness in the deep caverns of my soul.

Charles Spurgeon
Depression, Jesus, Heart

Poor human nature cannot bear such strains as heavenly triumphs bring to it; there must come a reaction. Excess of joy or excitement must be paid for by subsequent depressions. While the trial lasts, the strength is equal to the emergency; but when it is over, natural weakness claims the right to show itself.

No sin is necessarily connected with sorrow of heart, for Jesus Christ our Lord once said, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death." There was no sin in Him, and consequently none in His deep depression.
