God asked them not to worship any idols like the pagans but the influences of their surrounding nations dragged them to dishonor their God by turning their faces from Him.
At that moment God called up the prophet Isaiah to proclaim the message to Israel to return from their evil practices. God promised Isaiah not to fear anyone because He would be with him.

When we go through trials, God knows that and His mighty hands comfort us to overtake the situation.
1 Peter 5:7(KJV)“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you”
Explanation:-Life is not a bed of roses. No one can ever say that I have never faced problems in my life. We all face various types of trials in our lives. We need to understand that our creator who loved us most, knows everything.

What does the Bible say about grief and depression?
The Bible is a complete guidebook for us that tells us how to live and act on this earth. We expect many things in our lives, sometimes we get depressed when our dreams remain unachieved. Apart from this sometimes we feel weak mentally when someone hurts us.
The Bible says not to rely on a man. Instead of that, we should depend on God as He is faithful and loyal. The Lord is omniscient which means He knows the present, past, and future whereas man only knows the past and present. That is why only God can fulfill the promise that He makes.
Jesus told us to come before Him to enjoy our life as He is the door of life. He loves us and gave us life so we can gain our lives by Him.
When we surrender our lives to God, it brings a huge change in our lives. From that moment of time, He begins to control our lives. In Him, we will find hope of our life. The more we will get problems, afflictions, and depression the more we should come near to Him and He will lighten up our burdens.
What does the bible say about spiritual depression?
We all are in a family where we face our own problems. The Bible says not to love the world or the things in the world. When we love worldly things we become God’s enemy.
The more we expect from the world the more pain we will gain. When we do not meet our wishes we get depressed.
Sometimes we get everything we desired but still, we fill the emptiness in our hearts. This world cannot give satisfaction to us, only Jesus can make us happy. To overcome spiritual depression we need to give our hearts to God to get peace.
Is depression a result of sin?
When Adam and Eve were in the Eden garden with God they had no issues there, but the moment they disobeyed God, everything changed.
Because of their transgression, sin entered into the world and it affected the entire human being. Sin brought adultery, lewdness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, etc. All these changed our thoughts, apart from that God separated Himself from the sinful man as He is the holy one.
When we are away from our creator so it is evident that we are afraid of our life as we do not know our future. We can understand that depression is an indirect result of sin.
