Small Steps to Overcoming Depression

Self > or < GOD: Pro. 4:23



Where is your heart centered? (James 1:14-15, Prov 20:5, Prov 4:23, Prov 3:5-6)

Are you trusting in GOD who holds you (Prov 3:5-6) or are your circumstances and pain driving you down the slippery slope of depression (1 Cor 10:13, Ps 42, 43)?

Step 1:

I will pray and meditate on GOD’s Word daily at this time: ____________

Have you taken time to nourish your body and rest so that you can move forward feeling physically strong and receive GOD’s blessing (Ex 23:25, 1 Cor 10:31)?


Step 2:

Physical Nourishment is important: Lack of nourishment can increase a depressive state and improper diet can be a contributing factor ( 1 Kings 19: 5-6).

Eat even when you do not feel like it.

Let’s pray:

Dear Lord, I believe you are in control ( Eph 4:6) and that you hold me on the palm of your hand ( Isa 49:16) and that each tear that I have shed you have stored in your store house (Ps 56:8). You love me and your love is everlasting (Jer 31:3). I do not have to walk alone, please help me to remember you are always with me, even when I do not feel your presence (Heb 11). I Thank You for all you have given me this day. I chose to live one day at a time (Mat 6:31-34) and look for the blessings each day (Philp 4:8). In JESUS name, AMEN!
