A word for the depressed believer

There are verses in Scripture that shine most brightly at midnight. Job 13v15 is one of them: “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.” (Job 13v15)

These are not the words of a man enjoying health, prosperity, and applause. They come from a broken father who has buried his children, a ruined businessman who has lost his wealth, and a suffering servant whose body is covered in sores. Job is sitting in ashes. His friends misunderstand him. Heaven seems silent. Providence is dark.

And yet he says, Though He slay me… yet will I trust in Him.
