About this journey

A journey is a short, themed path through Scripture, one day at a time: a passage to read, a short reflection, a question to journal on and a prayer.

Start at day 1 and go at your own pace — your progress and private journal are saved on this device and synced if you sign in. A “Beta” tag means a pastor has not reviewed the journey yet.

Depression & the Dark Night

Depression is not a lack of faith: psalmists, prophets and Jesus himself knew deep sorrow, and Scripture gives honest words for the dark night rather than quick answers. These seven days point gently to God's nearness and encourage you to seek medical help and the support of trusted people. If you are in danger or thinking of ending your life, please contact local emergency services or someone you trust today.
