How does God feel when I am depressed?

James tells us that Elijah was a person “just like us”. Elijah hid in a cave when he was overcome with despair, but God came to him in gentleness and compassion, bringing practical help and manageable tasks to restore tis person he cared so deeply about. God cares for us when we go through dark times as well, and we can learn a lot from how He encourage Elijah.
