Bible Scriptures for Christian Depression Help:
Turning God's Word into a Powerful Sword!


The joy of the Lord is your Strength and Stronghold. ~ Nehemiah 8:10 


Christian Depression-Woman Recovering
In Lesson 2 of this Bible study for Christian depression help, we discovered that God's Word is your own personal two edged sword.  

It is the weapon that God has given you to paralyze Satan and his henchmen as they try to attack your mind with depression.


Why Does God's Word Stop Satan's Attacks?

Because, as a Christian, you are not subject to the curse (See Lesson 1 of the Depression Bible Study).  That means, anything that Satan tries to do to you, is "spiritually illegal."  

But, the devil is a thief (John 10:10).  If you do not call him on it, like any criminal, he will keep stealing from you!

When you quote the Word of God at Satan, you are resisting him.  You are calling him out as the thief that he is.  And, you're refusing to let him dupe you into taking what he's trying to dish out.

God promises that when you resist Satan, he will flee from you (James 4:7). So, "take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" and kick Satan's butt (Ephesians 6:17)!

Christian Depressio Help- A woman recoveringThese Bible verses are some of the ones that I used when I needed Christian depression help the most.  I printed them on 3X5 cards, and kept them with me.  Just in case I needed to go into battle on short notice.  

I also recorded myself reading the scriptures, and played them while I got dressed or drove to work.  

It might sound silly, but Satan had been filling my mind will all of his lies.  I needed a good brain washing, if you know what I mean!

Remember: Faith is your shield of protection in this depression battle (Ephesians 6:16).  

Faith comes from hearing,
that is, hearing the Good News
about Christ.
- Romans 10:17 (NLT)  

So, read these scriptures often.  Not only will they be your sword, but they will develop your shield.

 
Your Scriptures for Christian Depression Help



It is the Lord Who goes before you;
He will [march] with you;
He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you;
[let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not,
neither become broken [in spirit--depressed,
dismayed, and unnerved with alarm].
- Deuteronomy 31:8 (AMP)


Beloved,
I pray that you may prosper in all things
and be in health,
just as your soul prospers.
-3 John 1:2 (NKJV)


ARISE [from the depression and prostration
in which circumstances have kept you
--rise to a new life]!
Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord),
for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
-Isaiah 60:1 (AMP)


But God,
Who comforts and encourages and refreshes and cheers
the depressed and the sinking,
comforted and encouraged and refreshed and cheered us.
- 2 Corinthians 7:6 (AMP)


Casting the whole of your care
[all your anxieties, all your worries,
 all your concerns, once and for all]
on Him, for He cares for you affectionately
and cares about you watchfully.
- 1Peter 5:6-7 (AMP)


But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities;
the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us
was upon Him,
and with the stripes [that wounded] Him
we are healed and made whole.
- Isaiah 53:5 (AMP)


He heals the brokenhearted
and bandages their wounds. 
- Psalm 147:3


But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me,
And my Lord has forgotten me."
"Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me. -Isaiah 49:14-16 (NKJV)




This final  Bible reading is definitely one of the most powerful prescriptions for healing Christian depression.  

I recommend that you print this promise, and hang it somewhere that you will see everyday.  Your bathroom mirror is a great spot!
 


Your Heavenly Father Holds the Key
To Christian Depression Help!
He Promises...

"to heal the brokenhearted,
 To proclaim liberty to the captives,
 And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
 To comfort all who mourn,
 To console those who mourn in Zion,
 To give YOU beauty for ashes,
 The oil of joy for mourning,
 The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
 That YOU may be called trees of righteousness,
 The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."
     
And YOU shall rebuild the old ruins,
YOU shall raise up the former desolations,
And YOU shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.

Instead of YOUR shame YOU shall have double honor,
And instead of confusion YOU shall rejoice in YOUR portion.
Therefore in YOUR land YOU shall possess double;
Everlasting joy shall be YOURS!
 
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
 And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
-Isaiah 61:1-4,7,10 (NKJV-Their/They changed to Your/You)


I pray that these Bible verses for Christian depression help strengthen you for your battle to regain your joy and peace.  Remember that both joy and peace are Fruits of the Holy Spirit.  They are your Heavenly Father's gifts to you as His child.
