This is a completely revised edition of the August 2014 version. In Faith, Hope and Despair Jeremy Farrell provides Christians and non-Christians suffering from depression and anxiety with a straightforward walk through the prayer most commonly called The Lord's Prayer as a framework for meaningful and honest conversation with God in the midst of depression. Depression and anxiety as forms of mental illness are seldom spoken about in the church community for several reasons, most often because of a sense of shame or guilt that the illness should not manifest in a faithful Christ-follower, or because those who are around the depressive do not know how to act towards their friend. Depression and anxiety are illnesses like any other. For some people they are temporary and for others they are life-long, affecting faith and hope, resulting in despair or desperation. Jeremy offers this book up as a day-by-day, verse-by-verse, walk to overcome depression daily through the restoration of faith in God and hope for the future. He uses the story of the prophet Elijah as a biblical reference point for how God builds, uses, and sustains His people.
