Psalm 34:18 states that "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." It emphasizes God's closeness and compassion for those who are suffering and distressed, promising his intervention and support. 

 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33 NKJV)

Ephesians 4:2-3 NIV 84

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

"If you know someone who's depressed please resolve to never ask them why," "Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation, depression just is, like the weather. Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they're going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest and best things you will ever do." - Stephen Fry

"We would never tell someone with a broken leg that they should stop wallowing and get it together," she continued. "We don't consider taking medication for an ear infection something to be ashamed of. We shouldn't treat mental health conditions any differently." - Michelle Obama

"Sometimes when we think things are falling apart they are falling into place according to God’s plan." - (this quote Shared by Wallace)

"Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words." —Francis of Assisi

  

"What shines forth and reveals God in your life is not your relative consistency to an idea of what a saint should be, but your genuine, living relationship with Jesus Christ, and your unrestrained devotion to Him whether you are well or sick." - Oswald Chambers (Above shared by Rikki)

 

“Add” indicates something we have to do. We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God won’t do what we can. We cannot save or sanctify ourselves; God will not give us good habits or character. We have to develop habits and character on our own, working out the salvation God has worked in.

“Add” suggests we have to get into a habit. Habits are difficult to establish. To take the initiative is to make a beginning, to instruct yourself in the way you have to go. Beware of asking for directions when you know the way perfectly well. Take the initiative; stop hesitating; be decisive. Whenever God speaks, act in faith immediately on what he says, and never go back on your decisions. If you hesitate when God tells you to do something, you endanger your position in grace. Will yourself to take the first step—I will write that letter; I willpay that debt—then burn your bridges behind you. Make it impossible to go back.

We can only take initiative where we are, not where we aren’t. We have to get into the habit of seeking the mind of God about anything and everything. If when a crisis comes, we instinctively turn to him, we will know the habit has been formed.
