12 biblical steps in overcoming depression: Remember all that God has done in the past (v. 5). Surrender your own ways/will to him (v. 6) Be honest with God. Ask him for his help. Pray (v. 7). Trust him daily (v. 8). This starts each day by spending time with him in his Word and in prayer, listening to him. Ask him daily to show you the right way (v. 8). Be aware of your Enemy and enemies—those who are fighting against you (v. 9). Depend on God for his rescue from them (v. 9). Seek Gods will (v. 10). I often pray something like, I want to do your will, Lord. Give me the wisdom and strength I need to do it. Davids prayer is better, I think. Perhaps more humble. TEACH me to do your will. Hes admitting he doesnt know how to do this, although he had spent most of his life pursuing Gods will and it seems that except for a few pretty major slips, he had done Gods will. Rely on the power of the Holy Spirit (not your own) to lead you (v. 10). Trust what God will do in the future (v. 11). Remember its not about you. Its about Gods name and reputation (v. 11). Continue to serve God (v. 12).
