Here is a download available copy of a book that was referenced this Sunday morning for free on Desiring God’s website. Hopefully it—along with Scripture—can be an aid in your walk.

The website describes it saying:

Even the most faithful, focused Christians can encounter periods of depression and spiritual darkness when joy seems to stay just out of reach. It can happen because of sin, satanic assault, distressing circumstances, or hereditary and other physical causes. In When the Darkness Will Not Lift, John Piper aims to give some comfort and guidance to those experiencing spiritual darkness.

Readers will gain insight into the physical side of depression and spiritual darkness, what it means to wait on the Lord in a time of darkness, how unconfessed sin can clog our joy, and how to minister to others who are living without light. Piper uses real-life examples and sensitive narratives to show readers abundant reason to hope that God will pull them out of the pit of despair and into the light once again.

It is utterly crucial that in our darkness we affirm the wise, strong hand of God to hold us — even when we have no strength to hold him.
