Encouragement to Get Through the Depression
As I struggle with my own personal problems that drag me into depression, I turn to the Bible and other Christian writing for the words that remind me to have faith in God.
For those of you going through struggles and finding yourself crying through the scary world, here are some verses in which I find reassurance:
"I can do all things through him who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13
"For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies." Psalm 57:10
"He sends from heavens & saves me..." Psalm 57:3
"in God I trust: I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" Psalm 56:11
"... Everything is possible for him who believes." Mark 9:23
"Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens & earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you." Jeremiah 32:17
"I will praise you, O Lord. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." Isaiah 12:1-2
"If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you." John 15:7
"Yet this I call to mind and therefor I have hope. Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail." Lamentations 3:21-22.
"You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures." James 4:2-3
"God has come to help his people." Luke 7:16
I hope one of these verses helps you. I hope even more that one of these verses encourages you to open a Bible and find more verses of encouragement. They are in there. Just ask the Lord to show them to you.
May God bless everyone who is depressed this holiday season.
If you need to find a verse to help you, please contact me. My goal is to share scripture.

Turning Away from a Life I'm Embarrassed About
Dear God,
I remember my mistakes and my aimless wandering which made my life useless and without meaning. Such memories make me wince with embarrassment and shame. As I remember them, my soul is downcast within me.
Yet, this I call to mind and therefore have hope. Because of Your great love I am not consumed by my past, for Your compassions never fail. They are new every morning, great is your faithfulness. And so each morning I start with a clean slate to rebuild my life in the image You have set through Jesus Christ and the new covenant.
You are good to those whose hope is in you and to the one who seeks You. So it is with all my heart that I hope in You and seek You. Please don't let me be distracted by earthly treasures. I pray to keep my eyes on You, O Lord, God Almighty.
I ask for the assistance of the Holy Spirit this day, and each day. Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
Based on Lamentations 3:19-23, 25...
I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I will remember them, and my soul is down cast within me. Yet, this I call to mind and therefore I have hope. Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning, great is your faithfulness.
