Dark Night of the Soul
Christians are called to “walk in the light,” (Eph. 5:8; 1 Jn. 1:7) and yet in God’s providence there are times when the faithful find themselves walking in a kind of darkness where God seems to be silent and distant. Many refer to this as a “dark night of the soul.” How is this dark night different from the more common forms of depression or affliction? And, is there a way to persevere through the night and find the light of morning?RECOMMENDED READINGFirst we have a couple free online resources for you, and then some books that can help when you’re in a dark night, or even just wrestling with depression.The Dark Night of the Soul by R.C.
