Good-Life Devotional: STEPS TO ENCOURAGE THOSE STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION: (Part 2) 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

GOD HEALS WOUNDS 

Emotional wounds are as real as physical ones, but God is the ultimate healer. He doesn’t ignore your scars—He binds them.

The scripture says : “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” – Psalm 147:3

TAKE ACTION: Spend at least 5 minutes in silence, picturing God gently binding your heart through his warm embrace. 

 GIVE HIM YOUR BURDENS Depression adds weight you’re not meant to carry. God invites you to hand it over. Worry does not translate to care . Worrying destroys our happiness , health and relationships. 

The Scripture says : “Cast your cares on the LORD and He will sustain you.” – Psalm 55:22

TAKE ACTION: Write down your heaviest burden, then pray: “Lord, I give this to You.” God is a consuming fire , Symbolically,Set the written list of burdens on fire in a safe place while saying God has taken them away and you shall not worry about them anymore. 

YOU’RE NOT ALONE Darkness may surround you, but you are never alone. God is your Shepherd, guiding you step by step.

The Scripture says : “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” – Psalm 23:4

TAKE ACTION: Declare: “God is with me right now.,  I am not alone  "

HOPE IN THE WAITING Healing takes time, but God’s goodness will appear. Don’t quit. Stay expectant.

The Scripture says : “I will see the goodness of the LORD… Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart.” – Psalm 27:13-14

TAKE ACTION: Spend about 5 minutes praying: “Lord, I choose to hope in You today and always.”

In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and perseverance.

PRAYERS: 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 saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to persevere.
