Biblical Steps for Overcoming Depression
Depression originates from physical causes or sin. Sickness,
allergies, hormonal imbalances or fatigue can contribute to a depressing outlook
on life. Always consider these possibilities before assuming that you have a
spiritual problem. During these times of physical struggle it is very important
to fully trust in God and have faith in the promises He has given in His Word.
Depression can also be a consequence of sin. Guilt, bitterness or
rebellion leads to discouragement and despair. During these times we must accept
God's sovereignty, not resisting the trials God allows to take place in our
lives.
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their
wounds. Psalm 147:3

he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also
shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
