In the midst of a depressing and difficult situation, St. John Henry Newman was inspired to write the popular hymn Lead, Kindly Light, which is also a great prayer that all of us can pray during times of darkness and lack of hope, whether that comes from our circumstances or from the disease of depression.
It is a prayer that asks God to lead us to that light and give us hope when all hope is lost.
