The following Prayer is
rather long but is based on many
of the scriptures listed above. It was taken from
a book I have been reading, "Prayers That
Avail Much" by Germaine Copeland. The prayer
is titled "Victory Over Depression" and
has been very helpful to me as we are to pray to
our Father with a positive attitude, He will
answer our prayers and claiming
"Victory" is very uplifting!
Father,
You are my refuge and my high tower and
my stronghold in times of trouble. I lean
on and confidently put my trust in You,
for You have not forsaken me. I seek You
on the authority of Your word and the
right of my necessity. I praise You, the
help of my countenance and my God.
Lord, You lift up those who are bowed
down. Therefore, I am strong and my heart
takes courage. I establish myself on
righteous- right standing in conformity
with Your will and order. I am far even
from the thought of oppression or
destruction, for I fear not. I am far
from terror for it shall not come near
me.
Father, You have thoughts and plans for
my welfare and peace. My mind is stayed
on You, for I stop allowing myself to be
agitated and disturbed and intimidated
and cowardly and unsettled.
In the name of Jesus I loose my mind from
wrong thought patterns. I tear down
strongholds that have protected bad
perceptions about myself. I submit to
You, Father, and resist fear,
discouragement, self-pity and depression.
I will not give place to the devil by
harboring resentment and holding onto
anger. I surround myself with songs and
shouts of deliverance from depression,
and will continue to be an overcomer by
the word of my testimony and the blood of
the Lamb.
Father, I thank You that I have been
given a spirit of power and of love and
of a calm and well-balanced mind. I have
discipline and self-control. I have the
mind of Christ and hold the thoughts,
feelings and purposes of His heart. I
have a fresh mental and spiritual
attitude, for I am constantly renewed in
the spirit of my mind with Your Word,
Father.
Therefore, I brace up and reinvigorate
and cut through and make firm and
straight paths for my feet - safe and
upright and happy paths that go in the
right direction. I arise from the
depression and prostration in which
circumstances have kept me. I rise to new
life, I shine and am radiant with the
glory of the Lord.
Thank Your, Father, in Jesus' name, that
I am set free from every evil work. I
praise You that the joy of the Lord is my
strength and stronghold! Hallelujah!
