The Gospel in Postpartum Depression

Lamentations 3:19-33 New Living Translation 19 The thought of my suffering and homelessness    is bitter beyond words.20 I will never forget this awful time,    as I grieve over my loss.21 Yet I still dare to hope    when I remember this: 22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends!    His mercies never cease.23 Great is his faithfulness;    his mercies begin afresh each morning.24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;    therefore, I will hope in him!” 25 The Lord is good to those who depend on him,    to those who search for him.26 So it is good to wait quietly    for salvation from the Lord.27 And it is good for people to submit at an early age    to the yoke of his discipline: 28 Let them sit alone in silence    beneath the Lord’s demands.29 Let them lie face down in the dust,    for there may be hope at last.30 Let them turn the other cheek to those who strike them    and accept the insults of their enemies. 31 For no one is abandoned    by the Lord forever.32 Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion    because of the greatness of his unfailing love.33 For he does not enjoy hurting people    or causing them sorrow.
