Reading – Psalms 22-24

Highlight Verse:

“But I am a worm and not a man. I am scorned and despised by all!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭22‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

These are the words of one of the greatest kings of all time. A man who was considered to be “a man after God’s own heart.”

But there were days when he felt like this.

I’m not saying that you are as awesome as King David (maybe you are), but if you’re feeling down on yourself, keep in mind that even David had days when he felt no better than a worm.

Every person on the planet struggles with mental and emotional health issues from time to time. It’s part of being human.

Part of being a child of God is the fact that we have power through the Holy Spirit (sometimes acting through godly counselors or doctors) to overcome such struggles.

The very next Psalm in today’s reading confirms David’s victory over depression through the presence of God. I suggest you read it noticing how David makes it through the darkest valley.

How do you overcome times of struggle?
If you are struggling today, how can we help you?
