Description: Amid our struggles and debilitating life circumstances, our mental health will inevitably take a toll. While we might think that attention to mental well-being is a relatively modern phenomenon, many who have gone before us in the Bible also had their bouts with mental distress.

Their lives might have been drastically different from ours, but their struggles were just as valid and similar to our own plights.

They did not trivialise their pain, and neither should we. However, through God’s strengthening, they could navigate through it, emerging refreshed and invigorated.

Hear from these four Bible characters, and witness God’s hand even in their troubles—and trust that He will be present in ours.
