Good-Life Devotional: HOW TO ENCOURAGE PERSONS STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION: (Part 1) 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

 GOD IS NEAR : Depression often makes us feel alone, but God angels draws closer when we are hurting. He doesn’t turn away from your pain—He enters it.

The Scripture says “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18 , Psalm 91:15 

TAKE ACTION: Whisper a simple prayer today: “Lord, thank You for being near me even in my lowest moments.

SPEAK TO YOUR SOUL(emotions, intellect, senses , will ) Depression talks to us, but we can talk back. Tell your soul to hope in God. Praise, even in pain, brings light into darkness. 

The Scripture says  “Why, my soul, are you downcast? … Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him.” – Psalm 42:5

TAKE ACTION: Write down one reason to hope in God today and thank Him for it. Always remember and talk past breakthroughs. 

THE NIGHT WON’T LAST

Depression gives an image of never ending sorrow. Seasons of darkness are temporary. Joy will return because God promises it.

The scripture says : “Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” – Psalm 30:5

TAKEN ACTION: Say aloud: “This season will not last. God’s joy is coming for me. My breakthrough is near ” Act like you already have it. Sing , dance , celebrate in advance. Congratulations. 

In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and manifestation of the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and receive the Holy Spirit and joy of the spirit.
