Prayer against Depression - by Saint Ignatius of Loyola

✝️O Christ Jesus,

when all is darkness

and we feel our weakness and helplessness,

give us the sense of Your presence,

Your love, and Your strength.

Help us to have perfect trust

in Your protecting love

and strengthening power,

so that nothing may frighten or worry us,

for, living close to You,

we shall see Your hand,

Your purpose, Your will through all things.

By Saint Ignatius of Loyola

PRAYER FOR DEPRESSION RELIEF

Heavenly Father,

I come before You with a heavy heart, feeling weighed down by the burden of depression. You know the depths of my pain, my fears, and my struggles. I ask for Your comforting presence to surround me in this difficult time.

Please grant me the strength to face each day, even when it feels overwhelming. Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and help me to trust in Your unfailing love. I ask for the courage to reach out for help and for the wisdom to find the right words to express what I am going through.

Lord, I ask that You bring healing to my mind, body, and spirit. Lift the darkness that clouds my thoughts and renew my hope. Help me to see the beauty in life again and to find joy in the little things. Surround me with people who care, and guide them in how to support me through this journey.

Thank You, Lord, for hearing my prayer. I place my trust in You, knowing that You are my refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. I ask for Your light to guide me out of this shadow and into the fullness of life that You have planned for me.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
