The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 21.0 million American adults had at least one major depressive episode in 2021. Many of them sit in church every Sunday and wonder whether they are allowed to feel this way.

Lifted Out of the Cistern is a 30-day devotional through the life of the prophet Jeremiah, written for people living with depression: the newly diagnosed, the people who have fought it for decades, and the ones who are always the helper and do not know how to be helped.

Inside

  • Before I Formed You: being known by God before the diagnosis, broken cisterns, the darkest psalm
  • Is There No Balm in Gilead?: medication, tears, weariness, and the question of why the pain goes on
  • A Fire Shut Up in My Bones: honest complaint, wishing you had never been born, and a safety plan
  • Seek the Welfare of the City: building a life while you heal, rest, sleep, and joy returning
