Depression.
Depression is not the same as sadness. It is a debilitating state of mind and soul. You are on this page because you know you need help. A good start is to pray this prayer out loud so your own ears hear your voice releasing hope. You also need someone to talk to. There is a phone number at the bottom of the page for you.
"Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus, the anchor of my Hope. I am in a low state of mind and I know You are the Way out and the One who heals hearts. I confess (choose your truth--->) anger, powerlessness, fear, sadness, grief, despair, hopelessness and the lack of being able to see joy and embrace hope. By faith, I release all people who have hurt me even though they may never apologize. I release them to You and I know You will handle things perfectly. I ask You to show me where I lost my way and depression gained ground. I forsake anger, fantasy revenge, self-hate, and rejection. I cry out to You--the giver of Life and the lover of my soul. Your Word says You restore my soul. I need You to do this now. I need healing. Your Word says you are near, will never forsake me, and You will comfort me and give me rest. I need these things right now. I surrender. I surrender all that I am carrying and all that I thought I could control. I choose to put all my trust in You and know that joy is my inheritance and peace is my birthright in You. Come, Holy Spirit. Comfort me and set me free."
I come out of agreement with the spirits of depression, rejection, shame, regret, grief, death, powerlessness, lies, occult, and any other enemy of God that has shadowed my soul. The Lord rebuke you, Satan. The blood of Jesus rebukes you. I command all darkness connected with depression to go right now, in Jesus' name.
"Father, I know Your Holy Spirit is filling me and comforting me. Thank You for relief. Thank You for revealing options of life that I could not see before. Thank You for breaking these chains. Thank You for reminding me that You have not rejected me and You love me with an everlasting love. Your Word says a bruised reed You will not break and a smouldering flame, You will not put out. Nothing can separate me from Your Love. I reject all the lies that have been pushing into my mind. Stay near and teach me how to walk in Your healing Word by the Spirit. I love you."
