Prayer to combat Depression

By Joyce Meyer

Father, in the name of Jesus, I come to You
bearing the burden of my depression. It is a
burden I do not need, and I leave it at Your feet
now, O Loard.
Replace these downcast feelings with Your joy.
Your grace is sufficient for me.
I am coming into agreement with Your Word. I
need to be in Your presence. It is in You that I
live and move and have my being!
Thank You!

I used to pray. But he never replied. In fact I felt punished and rejected by him. Now I am an Atheist.

Nothing is easy with depression. And prayer is
not ment as a cure just part of a healing program for those who beleave. I know that I have had answers to my prayers and not even seen them because they were not what I wanted to hear. Just an idea for those who wish to add it to there other treatments.

I pray too and when things go better I thank God. When things go bad I think what I might have done with the strength God gave me to overcome the anxiety and depression that my self deprecation brings at these times.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
