Depression

Lord God,

Thank you so much for your love for us. We know that you are all-powerful and faithful, and that we can trust you with anything and everything. We pray now that you would make your guiding hand known as we pray for this situation of feelings of depression. Lord, you created each of us in your perfect image, with a good and perfect plan for our lives. When we face struggles, setbacks, stress, and myriad other attacks of the world, it’s easy to become negative, to shy away from the situation, to withdraw ourselves, and ultimately enter into the valley of negative thoughts and depression. But this is not how you created us, and it is not who we are meant to be. We pray that you give the strength to overcome any negative thoughts and feelings, and to know that by keeping you as the center, you will provide all that is needed to climb out of any dark valleys up to not just a higher and more positive point closer to you. We know that you will continue to provide guidance and direction in this path, and that you will help bring about the best outcome. 

Thank you for being our perfect and gracious Father, for your promises to us, and for always completing the work you begin. 

We pray this all in your holy name. Amen.
