Prayer For Victory Over Depression

 

Father, You are my Refuge and my High Tower and my Strengthen in times of trouble. I lean on and confidently put my trust in You, for You have not forsaken me. I seek You on the authority of Your Word. I praise You for who You are.

 

Lord, You lift up those who are bowed down. Therefore, I am strong and my heart takes courage. I establish myself on righteousness – right standing in conformity with Your will and order. I am far away from the thought of oppression or destruction, for I will fear not. I am far from terror, for it shall not come near me.

 

Father, You have thoughts and plans for my welfare and peace. My mind is stayed on You, for I will stop allowing myself to be agitated and disturbed and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.

 

In the name of Jesus Christ, I loose my mind from wrong thought patterns. I will tear down the strongholds that have over taken my thinking and perceptions about myself. I submit to You, Father, and resist fear, discouragement, self-pity, and depression. I will not give place to the devil by harboring resentment and holding onto anger. I surround myself with songs and shouts of joy and deliverance from depression, and I will continue to be an overcomer by the Word of my testimony and by the blood of the Lamb.

 

Father, I thank You that I have been given a spirit of power and of love and of a calm and well-balanced mind. I have discipline and self-control. I have the mind of Christ and holds the thoughts, feelings, and purposes of His heart. I have a fresh mental and spiritual attitude, for I am constantly renewed in the spirit of my mind with Your Word.

 

Therefore, I brace up and reinvigorate and cut through and make firm and straight paths for my feet – safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction. The direction You have for me. I arise from the depression “Now” in the name of Jesus. I rise to a new life; I shine and I am radiant with the glory of the Lord.

 

Thank You, Father, in Jesus’ name, that I am set free from every evil work. I praise You that the joy of the Lord is my strength.

In Jesus name - Amen
