Per the CDC, 42% of teenagers are experiencing persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness. That is up 50% from 2011. Nearly 60% of women and 70% of LGBTQ+. We can blame some of that decline on Covid. But I am suggesting that most of it is due to an increasing sense of celestial loneliness. This is why the Song of Songs is so relevant and critical. We are in a crisis of isolation and sadness.
