Taking Action Against DepressionSample

Day 7: Taking Action

Congratulations! You have made it to the final day of this devotional plan. I am proud of you! Taking action against depression isn’t the easiest thing to do, but you are fighting back. Remember to breathe in life, draw near to God daily, actively think positively, go to therapy, use coping skills, and take medicine if needed. All of these steps I’ve taken to defeat depression, and this is the most important takeaway:

You matter and your life matters! God loves you so much and saw that this world needed you in it to make it better! You have a unique background, various experiences, and necessary gifts to share. By telling your testimony, you can change and save a life or inspire someone to be the best version of themselves.

I want to encourage you with a quote from “Keep Breathing”, a song I wrote while reflecting on my season of depression:

“Imagine if I told you, God has something great in store. You were created with a purpose and that’s the reason why you were born. You’re chosen, anointed. God has greater plans for you, a survivor of all you’ve been through. He still has plans to prosper you.”

Everything I said is true. God has something great in store for you! Take it one day at a time, trusting in God and utilizing the steps we discussed in this devotional. It will all get better. :)

Prayer point:

Heavenly Father, Almighty God, thank you for helping me take action against depression. I pray that you comfort and heal me. Lord, I pray you strengthen my mind and protect me from the enemy's tactics. I ask that you guide me and that I listen to your guidance. Continue to draw near to me and draw me near to you. I love you, and I trust you. Heal me from this depression. It’s in Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
