A word from God when feeling depressed
It happens to everyone. Sometimes deep and dark. Sometimes long ,,, or short.
Depression. The blues. Off your game. Sad. Lonely.
You are not the first, nor will you be the last. Even believers sometimes battle these feelings.
So here are a few verses I use to speak truth into those finding themselves in a hard place. These words are true, even when we do not feel them. So hang on to truth.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-6
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4
May the words of God give your peace and comfort.
And these are meant to be shared, so use these with those in your life who are fighting the temptation of surrendering to depression.
