Self sabotage and depression

We come before the Lord with you in this struggle, lifting up your heart’s cry for freedom from self-sabotage, depression, and maladaptive daydreaming. These burdens are heavy, but we serve a God who is mighty to save and who delights in setting captives free. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Let us first address the importance of coming to God in the name of Jesus. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Christ that we have boldness and access to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today, for He alone can break every chain and bring true transformation.
Self-sabotage often stems from deep-seated fears, unbelief, or wounds that have not been surrendered to God. The Bible tells us, “For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7). If you are holding onto past failures, shame, or lies that you are unworthy or incapable, we rebuke those lies in the name of Jesus. You are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and the old has passed away. The Lord calls you to walk in the freedom He has already secured for you through the cross. Depression, too, can feel like a heavy cloud, but even in the valley, God is with you. The psalmist cried out, “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). Your hope is not in your circumstances but in the unchanging character of God, who promises to never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
Maladaptive daydreaming can be an escape from reality, but true peace is found in abiding in Christ, not in fleeing from the present. Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Resting in Him means bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). If this struggle has become a stronghold, we declare that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). You do not have to fight this battle alone—lean on the body of Christ, seek godly counsel, and immerse yourself in the Word of God, which is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105).
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your mighty hand to break every chain of self-sabotage, depression, and maladaptive daydreaming. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear, confusion, and hopelessness that has sought to bind them, and we declare that Your perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, renewing their mind and transforming their thoughts to align with Your truth (Romans 12:2). Father, where there are wounds, heal them. Where there is shame, replace it with Your righteousness. Where there is despair, flood their heart with Your hope and joy.
We ask that You would give them the strength to take every thought captive and to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith (Hebrews 12:2). Surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and lead them to godly community where they can find support and accountability. Lord, if there are areas of unrepentant sin or unforgiveness, reveal them and grant the grace to surrender fully to You. We thank You that You are the God who restores, who redeems, and who makes all things new. May they walk in the freedom and victory that Jesus purchased on the cross.
We pray all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise and glory. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in Scripture daily, meditating on God’s promises. Memorize verses that combat the lies you’ve believed, such as Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.” Also, consider seeking biblical counseling or a trusted mentor who can walk with you in this season. You are not defined by your struggles, but by the One who has overcome the world (John 16:33). Keep pressing into Him, and do not lose heart—your breakthrough is coming!
