Martin Luther knew from experience what it was to be despondent and anxious. He had bouts with this all his life, and he developed remedies he shared with others. Today, people suffering from ongoing depression should seek medical help. But others who feel “down” may find Luther’s suggestions helpful.

Martin Luther once wrote: “Without trials ... a person can know neither Scripture nor faith, nor can he fear and love God. If he has never suffered, he cannot understand what hope is.”
