5 simple prayers to counter depression

a. Prayers for My Depression
O God, as I am feeling depressed, may
this heaviness speak to me. Help me
listen to what depression may have to
teach me at this time. I am
depressed. Guide me to a person, a
place and resources to support me
during these moments. I feel deep
sadness to the point of not wanting to
be around people and not wanting to
do anything. Like Your prophet
Jeremiah, I question my own
existence and value. Is my life worth
living? Console me, Holy Spirit, when
I feel undesirable and
unlovable. Amen.

b. Prayers for My Heart
God, lifter of bowed-down heads,
help me recognize Your presence with
me in this depressive time in my
life. May someone come and hear
about my pain either by showing up,
emailing, calling me or messaging
me. My heart needs some human
connection today! In Your holy name,
Amen.

c. Prayers for Resentment of Depression
God, I do not like it when I’m
depressed. It slows me down and
makes me feel what I don’t want to
feel: immense sadness for myself,
others and our world. Sustain me in
this time and hold me close. Amen.

d. Prayers for My Spouse Who Lives with Depression

WHAT "I LOVE YOU" REALLY MEANS


God, in Your mercy, hear my
prayer. My spouse (or significant
other) lives with depression, and I
don’t know what to do. I feel
powerless and inadequate to
help. This is frustrating because it can
be so unpredictable. Help me find the
resources that I need to be with my
spouse (or significant other) during
these times of pain. In Christ’s name,
Amen.

e. Prayers for Others with Depression
Dear Holy Parent, hold all Your
children who live with the mental
condition of depression. Send Your
love through people–therapists,
pastors, friends, family, etc.–that they
may be assured of Your love in their
dark hours. In Your holy name,
Amen.
