Emotions
Sadness without a reason
Feeling melancholy or emptiness without a clear cause.
What the Bible can tell you
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
Psalms 42:5
My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalms 73:26
Then Jesus said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me."
Matthew 26:38
A human reading
Sometimes sadness arrives without an apparent cause, and that is confusing. You do not have to justify it. If it lasts a long time or affects your daily life, talk with a health professional.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
