Depression Does Not Win.

1 Peter 5:7

“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

Hey Blessed Doves, I hope your day is as good as mine. In my previous post, I touched on my trials with depression but I did not get a chance to tell you how much it affected me and how God brought me out of it. To me, depression is like a cold you gain depression but you can also get rid of it with the right medicine, and that medicine is JESUS and his WORD. I remember when I was just mentally exhausted, Heartbroken, Fighting all types of stuff. What I realized was that all those things had a toll on me I was mad, I was sad, all these thoughts that weren’t of God just building up inside me not knowing that it was slowly changing me as a person. I told God I’m willing to come back home if you guide me there. I told God I’m tired of being in such a sad dark place it’s time for me to arise back up and get back to myself. Sometimes all we have to do is call upon Jesus and he’ll come because he never left your side, You we’re just drifting away day by day. When you think about Gods prophet Elijah, suffered from depression but God allowed him to sit in that depression for so long and then one day God told Elijah to GET UP get back to work because you have a purpose and you need to fulfill that purpose. Same with us this world will put us in the darkest state but Jesus is that light in the dark room you just have to be willing to walk with that light and become better and grow stronger. Stop stressing, He know what you’re going through He knows the pain you have He knows your tired but he’s waiting calling out your name. This is just a test and trial that you have to get through then he there waiting for you at the end of the road with your reward of happiness. All it takes is a breath and a call for help. I thank God for bringing me out of that mental exhaustion that sad dark feeling out of me and it’s never “over” but trust and believe It’s gone turn around and get better.

Father God In The Name Of Jesus, I come before you today for teenagers who are battling with depression . You see and know the depths of our heart, the pain that we carry, and the heaviness that weighs me down. We feel lost and overwhelmed, and we need your guidance and strength. God, we ask for your healing touch upon my mind, body, and soul. Please bring clarity to our thoughts and help us find hope in the midst of darkness. Give us the courage to reach out for help, to confide in someone who can provide support and understanding. Lord, I pray that you surround us with people who will uplift us, who will listen without judgment, and who will remind us that I am not alone in this battle. Help me to open up about our struggles, to share our pain, and to find comfort in the love and support of others. God, I know that you are a God of compassion and understanding. You know the depths of our pain, even when I struggle to put it into words. I ask for your comfort and peace to fill our heart, to ease the burden  we carry, and to remind us that we are loved unconditionally. Help us find strength in you, to trust in your plan for our life, even when it feels like the darkness will never end. Guide us towards the resources and tools that will aid in our recovery, and grant us the wisdom to make the right decisions for our mental health. Lord, I pray that you shine your light into the darkest corners of our mind, and that you replace our feelings of sadness and despair with hope and joy. Help us to see the beauty in every day, to appreciate the small victories, and to find purpose in my pain. I surrender our struggles to you, Lord, knowing that you are our rock and our refuge. I trust that through your grace and mercy, you will lead us out of this darkness and into a life filled with joy, peace, and purpose. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Amen.
