Healing Hearts: A 21-Day Journey Through Childhood Depression
Explore God's word for comfort, hope, and strength as we address depression in children through scripture and prayer over 21 days.
📖 Introduction
Welcome to this 21-day Bible study on Mental Health, focusing specifically on Depression in Children. Depression in children is a deeply challenging and often misunderstood condition that touches many lives. It brings feelings of sadness, loneliness, and despair, even in the youngest hearts. But as believers, we have access to a source of hope and healing beyond all understanding—God's Word. Throughout these 21 days, we will journey together through Scripture to discover God's comfort, encouragement, and promises aimed at uplifting the hearts of children facing depression.
Many children struggling with depression may feel isolated and unheard, but the Bible reminds us that God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). This study will help caregivers, parents, and anyone walking alongside children to better understand the spiritual resources at our disposal.
Each day contains a focus scripture, supporting verses, a devotional to reflect on, thoughtful questions to examine our hearts and situations, journaling prompts to process emotions and insights, and a prayer inviting God’s healing presence. As you spend time in this study, approach it with an open heart, inviting the Holy Spirit to minister peace, hope, and restoration.
Remember, depression is complex and sometimes professional help is needed alongside spiritual care. This study complements, rather than replaces, mental health support. May the Lord use these passages and reflections to shine His light on each child's path, reminding us that no darkness is too deep for His love to reach. Let us begin this tender journey with faith and compassion.
