This sermon walks through Psalm 42–43 to define spiritual depression—when the soul feels distant from God—and explains how it affects our body, mind and spirit.
It explores possible causes (isolation, mocking, personal susceptibility), offers six practical responses (recognize the problem, use the Psalms, remember past blessings, approach God boldly, preach truth to yourself, anticipate future blessing), and points to Jesus on the cross as the ultimate hope: though believers may feel forsaken, the gospel guarantees we are not abandoned.
