"So here's the thing that I think is so helpful: there's not resolution in this Psalm. And I know that's gonna sound really dark, but sometimes I think we need to feel like we're not alone in there not being a solution." —Natalie Abbott

On today's episode:  What do you do when you feel depressed? Today, Natalie and Vera talk about the dark seasons of life. Natalie shares her personal struggle with not always knowing why she's feeling down, the importance of not struggling alone, and how to hold on to hope by holding onto God. Natalie ends the episode by reading a poem she wrote for Chapter 7 of Dwell Differently: Overcome Negative Thinking with the Simple Practice of Memorizing God's Truth. 

Today's verse: "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." — Psalm 42:5
