Biblical Answer

The question "Why me?" is a common sentiment expressed by people struggling with depression or other challenges in life. From a biblical perspective, this question can be seen as a manifestation of a deeper issue - a lack of faith and trust in God's sovereignty. When we ask "Why me?", we are essentially saying that we don't understand why God is allowing us to go through this difficult time. We are implying that we are better than others, and that God should be treating us differently.

However, the Bible teaches us that God is sovereign over all creation, and that He is working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). This means that God is not surprised by our struggles, and that He is actively working to bring good out of them. When we ask "Why me?", we are essentially saying that we don't trust God's goodness and sovereignty. We are saying that we know better than God, and that we can see a better outcome for our lives. This is a form of pride and rebellion against God's authority.

The good news is that God is not far from us, and that He is always working to draw us closer to Himself. When we struggle with depression or other challenges, we can cry out to God for help and guidance. We can ask Him to show us His goodness and sovereignty in the midst of our struggles. We can trust that God is working all things together for our good, even when we don't understand what is happening. By doing so, we can begin to break free from the cycle of self-pity and despair, and start to see the world and ourselves in a new light. We can start to see that we are not alone, and that God is always with us, working to bring us good and glory.
