Dear God, the Creator of the heavens and earth, and the God of love, comfort, and understanding. You already know what I’m going through, but as you instructed, I’m bringing my requests and concerns to you. I am casting all my worries and cares on you because you care for me. Lord, there is nothing about me that is hidden from you, and nothing I face is beyond the reach of your grace and power. Lord, currently I am feeling (describe your feelings – whether you are experiencing sadness, losing interest in life, or experiencing changes in your sleep, appetite, or energy level, etc). However, in the midst of all this, I pause to thank you for all your blessings (list what you are thankful for). I also reflect on the many trials you have brought me through and my past victories (pause to reflect on God’s goodness).
Lord, I cannot carry this burden alone. You told me I should come to you if I am struggling and burdened, and you would give me rest, so here I am. Lord, I pray for your peace which is beyond human comprehension. I need the joy of the Holy Spirit and gladness in my heart. I need your strength and power, which are perfected in human weakness. Lord, please flood my soul with your unfailing love. Let hope overtake my mind, the hope that I will be delivered from my depression. Please connect me with the right people who can encourage, strengthen, and help me.
Lord, I pray for strength to serve you and complete my daily tasks despite what I am feeling. When I feel like I can’t get through all that I need to do, help me to always remember that I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me. Whether I am high or low, my strength is found in Christ. Lord, I take comfort in knowing that my depression doesn’t change your love for me or your plans for me. I am still your child, chosen and anointed to do your will. Whenever I feel alone, please remind me that you’re always with me and so I am never alone.
Lord, I know there is nothing impossible for you and that you are fully capable of delivering me from depression in whatever way you choose. Therefore, I pray that you move in my life and give me a testimony so that I can declare boldly that God has given me victory over depression. I pray all these things in the name of Christ Jesus, my Lord and Savior.
