I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die.
That was the book in my hands. The book I found on the internet, added to my shopping cart, and selected “buy now.” A book which perfectly described the season of life I found myself surviving in. It was no secret my depression had come back. Thoughts of suicide and self-harm were running rampant throughout my mind.
“A pastor isn’t supposed to feel this way,” I told myself. Yet, this pastor did feel that way. This pastor has spent over a decade feeling that way. But the question I found myself asking more recently felt heavier than anything I had the energy to carry. A question perhaps, you have asked yourself: Will I always feel this way?
