Still Here: Devotions for the Long, Quiet Middle: A Christian Devotional for Anxiety and Depression
Author(s): Dan LarsonPrice: FREE (Ends Apr 29)
This book was not written from the other side of depression.
It was written from inside it.
If you’re in the long, quiet middle – where nothing is dramatically wrong but nothing is right, where you’ve been here before and you’re here again, where getting dressed takes three decisions and the ceiling has become familiar – this book meets you exactly there.
Still Here is a 30-day Christian devotional for depression, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion.
Not a recovery plan.
Not a program.
No worksheets.
No pressure.
Just someone sitting near you in the dark, saying:
I see you. You don’t have to perform anything right now.
This is not the devotional that tells you to pray harder.
It is the one that stays with you when prayer feels impossible – and reminds you that the Spirit prays for you when you have no words left.
What’s inside:
Each short daily devotional:
Meets you in the physical reality of depression – the sheets, the ceiling, the 3 a.m. thoughts
Draws from honest, unresolved Scripture – the psalms that don’t clean up the ending
Asks nothing of you except to still be here
Ends with a one-sentence prayer that feels like a sigh, not a sermon
This book is often opened in moments like:
Waking up already exhausted
Feeling nothing when you know you should feel something
Wanting to pray – but not being able to form the words
Feeling like a burden to the people around you
Living with anxiety, numbness, or mental fog that won’t lift
Written for those navigating:
Depression and burnout
Anxiety and emotional exhaustion
Spiritual dryness, doubt, and silence
Long seasons that don’t resolve quickly
If typical Christian devotionals feel too demanding, too polished, or too far removed from real struggle – this one is intentionally different.
For the Christian who knows the truth but can’t feel it.
For the person who survived today and doesn’t know how.
For anyone who needs someone to stop explaining – and just stay.
You don’t have to get better today.
You just have to still be here.
And you are.
