While the trial lasts, the strength is equal to the emergency; but when it is over, natural weakness claims the right to show itself.

Charles Spurgeon

I know, perhaps as well as anyone, what depression means, and what it is to feel myself sinking lower and lower. Yet at the worst, when I reach the lowest depths, I have an inward peace which no pain or depression can in the least disturb. Trusting in Jesus Christ my Savior, there is still a blessed quietness in the deep caverns of my soul, though upon the surface, a rough tempest may be raging, and there may be little apparent calm.

Charles Spurgeon

I find myself frequently depressed - perhaps more so than any other person here.
