Job 19; Mark 1-2

In forming a new group, specifically a DG group, several of the women are diagnosed with clinical depression. The beauty of a DG group is we will be focusing on scripture verses and in that focus I wholeheartedly believe they can find comfort or maybe a challenge. The problem is my lack of familiarity personally w/clinical depression and I don't want to be like Job's friends speaking into something I know nothing about. The tension comes in balancing the beauty and the pain, not pain..or maybe it is....the tension of knowing, having experienced the healing from Scripture...the comfort that maybe even begins in confusion or challenge.... and not knowing the pain of depression....I don't know....so much I don't know and the fear and tension that creates in me, in them.....I am afraid and Abba I pray to live in that tension totally and completely dependent on You and Your Spirit...trusting You are guiding this and me...I don't think nor pray it to be easier....I pray Your guidance through it.....
