I’m guessing that if you’re reading this, you’ve struggled or are struggling with anxiety and depression and you’re looking for hope. Maybe you feel like you’ve tried everything and you just can’t seem to beat it. You’re hoping to find a prayer for anxiety that will fix it all and make it go away. That nagging, aching, painful feeling inside is now gone and you can go back to normal. Maybe you feel lost, afraid and alone. I bet you also sometimes feel a little guilty that you’re supposed to “be anxious for nothing” as a Christian and you can’t seem to get it right. That depresses you, and now you feel like quitting and pulling away from everyone. 

Many people experience feelings of depression at some point in their life. It can happen if you’ve recently experienced a loss, a major life change, a new baby, relationship issues, or anything else. Of course, it can also simply be something people experience separate from any particular event. There are many different ways that people choose to deal with depression: talking to a therapist, exercising more, leaning on family or friends, or turning to God.

The Bible is a source of inspiration for many. It can also be a source for comfort if you’re dealing with depression. These Bible verses for depression are a reminder that no matter what, God is there to lift you up. Mental health struggles are a real burden, but they are not a burden you should carry alone. You can turn to the Bible as a source of spiritual support as you address your struggles with depression – or anything else.

Let’s look at some bible verses for encouragement and gratitude and also as a source of inspiration which will bring healing spiritually, emotionally and mentally before we start praying.
