SERVANTS OF GOD WHO EXPERIENCED DEPRESSION
Anxiety and depression are not new. The Bible tells of many past servants of God who experienced negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. For example, look at what the Bible says about the following well know Bible figures:

David
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

Hannah
1 Samuel 1:10 In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the LORD, weeping bitterly.
.
Elijah:
1 Kings 19:4 while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.”

Job:
“If only you would hide me in the grave and conceal me till your anger has passed!

First-century Christians:
1 Thessalonians 5:14
“…speak consolingly to those who are depressed”

Bible Counsel for dealing with Anxiety and Depression:
The Bible not only shows that God’s servants in the past were depressed, but it also provides good advice on how we can ponder over certain scriptures and experience a calmness of heart and be free of anxiety. Consider how dwelling on the following scriptures can help a depressed person:

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

Philippians 4:6,7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

It is my hope that these verses will bring you as much comfort and peace of heart during life's distressing moments as they have done for me.
