Do you suffer from depression? Here are some scriptures on how to overcome depression. God Bless: Pastor Ken Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down (depression), but a good word cheers it up. Depression is the ‘feeling‘ of hopelessness. The lack of a ‘future positive possibility’ robs you of your motivation and strength. Deuteronomy 31:8 – The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. 2 Samuel 22:29 – You are my lamp O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light. Ecclesiastes 9:4 – Anyone who is among the living has hope. Psalms 9:9 – The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Psalm 27:14 - Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 34:18, 19 – The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (19) A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all. Psalm 43:5 – Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God. Psalm 55:22 – Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 143:7-8 – Answer me quickly, O Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I’ll lift up my soul. Psalm 147:3 – He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Isaiah 26:3-4, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusts in Thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. (Perfect means complete. If I keep my part of the promise by staying steadfastly focused on the Lord Jesus Christ, He will keep His promise to give me His perfect peace. Isaiah 40:31, But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 53:4 – Surely he took up our sicknesses and carried our sorrows. Romans 15:13 – May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Philippians 4:6-7 – Be anxious for nothing, 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 comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. James 4:8 – Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 1 Peter 5:7 – Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." Psalm 42:5 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him For the help of His presence. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of timidity { nervousness, uncommunicativeness, worriedness and fearfulness }, but of power and love and discipline. Psalms 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted { unhappy, despairing, crushed and despondent}, And binds up their wounds. 1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety { concern, apprehension, fretfulness amd nervousness} upon Him, because He cares for you.
