Prayers To Say In Times Of Loneliness And Depression

Last Updated on September 21, 2021 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

Hebrews 13:5: Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Depression has become the biggest killer of men, quite a number of people have fallen victim to this syndrome. Loneliness can swiftly drive an individual into a state of depression while the latter can cause a man to take silly decisions. Today we shall be looking at prayers to say in times of loneliness and depression. This prayers will rebuke the spirit of depression and loneliness in your life.

The World has witnessed a bad share of depression, millions of her people have committed suicide due to Loneliness and Depression. Little wonder psychologist defines depression as a wrong state of mind that causes an individual to make decisions without using their heads. It would interest you to know that an individual can be in the midst of a multitude and yet still feel lonely. Loneliness is not the absence of people; it is the inability of an individual to find companionship in the midst of people. And once an individual feel empty and lonely, depression is not far from such a person.

People believe that depression is a psychological disease that affects the mind and brain simultaneously. So, whenever an individual is depressed people seek counsel from Psychologists to help the victim out of the deadly state. However, what people fail to understand is that every problem has its root in the spiritual world.
While the rest of the world fears depression greatly and sees it as an improper medical state, we as Christians should see from another angle. We (Christians) may be in the world, but we are not of the world, we should and must not suffer the same fate that a casual person suffers too.

The scripture made us understand that God will send us a comforter which is the Holy Spirit, we will find a great companion in the fellowship with the Holy Ghost. So, whenever you cease to find comfort and happiness in the people around and even your family and closest relatives can no longer give you the joy you deserve, instead of sitting back and slowly going into depression, remember that Jesus Christ will never leave you nor forsake you, our God is the ever present help in our time of need. Never feel lonely again in your life.

A lot of believers go into depression because they feel that God has abandoned them in their crisis, they feel that heaven has shut her gates on them, but that is the deception of the devil. The psalmist understood better, he said “though I walk in the dark valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil”. Psalm 23:4. Also God told us the following in Isaiah 43:2:
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.

You see, God will never abandon you, regardless of the challenges you are going through. All you need to do is to hang on, never quit on God, never quit on life, keep serving God with all your heart and I see every trace of depression disappear in your life in Jesus Christ name.

Prayers

• Heaven Lord, my heart is troubled, I feel empty within myself, and I don’t derive joy and comfort from things that should give them to me. My life has become a shadow of itself.
