DISCOURAGEMENT / DEPRESSION

The best treatment for discouragement is simple trust and confidence in an all-knowing, forgiving and loving God.

1 Peter 5:6-8 “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” 

Psalms 55:22 “Cast your burden on the LORD [releasing the weight of it], and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved [made to slip, fall or fail]” (Amplified Bible). 

Romans 8:37-39 “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Psalms 42:11“Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God…”

2 Corinthians 5:7-8 “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

Psalms 118:5“I called on the LORD in distress; The LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.”

Psalms 40:1-3“I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry.  He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth--Praise to our God; many will see it and fear, and will trust in the LORD.”
