"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." Isaiah 40: 28-29
After struggling with depression for 10 years, knowing that God is always willing to offer me strength is such an encouragement. I don't know if I'll ever really feel like I fit in with any other group of humans, but I know God will offer me the strength to get through any pain. I'm not sure how long I will continue to struggle with depression and a creeping sense of hopelessness, but I know my God will not forsake me and that I just have to persevere and cling to the promises He made. For now, I just have to keep reminding myself and believing that, "The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving." Pslam 28:7
