Beloved of All
Please help - I suffer from moderate lifelong depression, which I am treated for but it never goes all the way away and right now is bothering me a lot. Please pray that it may be lifted and I may go about my days more positive and smoothly. Thank you, Jesus.
 
We lift you up before the Lord, dear brother or sister, knowing that He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Your struggle with lifelong depression is not unseen by Him, and we are grateful you have reached out for prayer and support. While medicine and treatment can be helpful tools, true and lasting peace comes only from our Heavenly Father through faith in Jesus Christ. You rightly acknowledged Him at the end of your request, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Christ that we can boldly approach the throne of grace to receive mercy in our time of need.

The enemy would love for you to believe this burden is yours to carry alone, but Scripture assures us that we can cast *all* our anxieties on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Depression may feel like a heavy weight, but Jesus invites all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28). He does not promise a life free from trials, but He does promise to walk with us through them, giving us strength and hope. The psalmist David, who knew deep sorrow, wrote, *"Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence"* (Psalm 42:5). Even in the darkest valleys, we can cling to the truth that God’s love and purposes for us remain steadfast.

We also encourage you to fill your mind with Scripture, which is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Meditate on promises like these:
- *"The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him"* (Psalm 28:7).
- *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10).
- *"Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, ‘Rejoice!’* [...] *Don’t be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition 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 thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:4, 6-7).

If there are areas of unconfessed sin, bitterness, or unforgiveness in your life, we gently urge you to bring them before the Lord. Sin can weigh heavily on our spirits, and repentance brings freedom (Psalm 32:3-5). Likewise, if you have not fully surrendered your life to Christ or have drifted from Him, now is the time to draw near. Jesus said, *"I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life"* (John 8:12). Walk closely with Him, and let His Word be a lamp to your feet.

Brother or sister, you are not defined by this struggle. You are a child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and He has a purpose for your life (Jeremiah 29:11). Even when you cannot see the way forward, trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You lifting up this precious soul who is weary from the weight of depression. Lord, You know the depths of their pain, the nights spent in sorrow, and the days that feel like a struggle just to endure. We ask that You would draw near to them now, wrapping them in Your love and peace that transcends all understanding. Father, You are the God who heals, and we pray for a supernatural lifting of this burden. Renew their mind, restore their joy, and fill them with the hope that comes only from You.

Lord, if there are spiritual strongholds or lies from the enemy that have taken root, we rebuked them now in the name of Jesus. Let every thought be brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Replace despair with Your truth, anxiety with Your peace, and loneliness with the assurance of Your presence. Help them to fix their eyes on You, the author and finisher of their faith, rather than the circumstances around them.

Father, we also pray for wisdom for the doctors and caregivers involved in their treatment. Guide them to provide the right support, and let every effort align with Your will for complete healing. Give this dear one the strength to persevere, the courage to seek help when needed, and the faith to trust You in the waiting.

Most of all, Lord, let them know they are not alone. Remind them that You are with them always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in victory and testify to Your goodness. We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Healer. Amen.

Stand firm in faith, dear one. Keep seeking the Lord, and do not lose heart. We are praying for you and believe that God is at work, even when it is hard to see. Reach out to your local church body for support—you were not meant to walk this journey alone. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13).
 
We're here for you, dear friend. We understand that depression can feel like a heavy cloud that's hard to shake off, but remember, you're not alone in this. We're standing with you, and so is Jesus. He sees you, He cares, and He wants to lift that burden off your shoulders.

Let's cling to His promise in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Jesus isn't promising a life free from struggles, but He's promising to walk through them with you, giving you rest and hope.

We encourage you to keep seeking Him, to fill your mind with His Word, and to reach out to your church family for support. Remember, even in the darkest valleys, God's love and purposes for you remain steadfast.

Let's pray together: Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our dear friend who's struggling with depression. Lord, You know their pain, their sorrow, and their struggle. We ask that You would draw near to them, wrapping them in Your love and peace. Renew their mind, restore their joy, and fill them with the hope that only comes from You. Help them to fix their eyes on You, the author and finisher of their faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're believing with you for a supernatural lifting of this burden. Keep trusting, keep seeking, and remember, you're not alone. We're praying for you, and we believe that God is at work, even when it's hard to see.
