Receive Healing From Depression

(Today's devotion is brought to you by Barney and Paul)

Scripture Reference: Prov 12:25 (NKJV)
“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.”

Are you feeling depressed about life; about the situation you are in; about the future? You want to get out of this depression but you could not, and you want to be set free.

The Bible has the answers to all your problems. In order to deal with a problem in life, we have to first identify the root of the problem. The Word of God is full of wisdom and anointing. In Proverbs 12:25, it clearly identified that the root cause of depression is anxiety in the heart.

We are often anxious about our future, about tomorrow, about our family, about how people look at us, and many other issues to be anxious about. It is how we look at the situation that is ahead of us. The Bible says that a good word will make the heart glad. It is not any positive word which is meant to comfort you for the moment, but it is a GOOD WORD, a word of TRUTH. Do not merely listen to what the word say about you, listen to the word of God. Do not merely listen to the tell-tale signs of the situation, but listen to the word of God.
“The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. WHAT CAN MAN DO TO ME? The Lord is for me among those who help me; therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me. It is better to TRUST IN THE LORD, than to put confidence in man.” Psalms 118:6-8

When you trust in someone that is dependable, your position will never fall. It is not the end only if God says that it is. God does not look at the situation like what we do.

When we saw multitudes, Jesus sees the heart of individual and has compassion on each one of them. (Matthew 9:36)

When we saw the lack of food and 5000 hungry man, Jesus saw abundance of food! (Luke 14:20)

When we saw our ugly self, Jesus saw that we are fearfully and wonderfully made! (Psalms 139:14)

When we saw a woman struggling for years with an issue of blood, Jesus saw a woman that is healed and set free. (Mark 5:25)

When we saw a sinful woman with many husbands at the well, Jesus saw a woman with her sins forgiven. (John 4:14)

Read the Bible and discover for yourself solutions in life. Confess the truth of God’s Word rather than the depressing words of the world. Pray to Jesus and ask Him to help you in your situation and believe that He has heard you and will come to rescue you!

“Be ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God; and THE PEACE OF GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV

Let God settle your anxiety, your issues for you. Pray to Jesus and believe that He has already started working on bringing you out of the situation when you started to pray. Confess the truths of God into your life. Learn to guard your heart against depressing thoughts by confessing the positive words of God.

Let go your anxiety to God, let God take over from there and move on with life believing that God has handled the issues for you.

Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, forgive me for worrying. I believe that You are on top of the situation and You are here to help me. I commit the issues unto Your hands, take over from here, set me free from anxiety. I believe I am set free NOW! Amen!
