Depression

Come closer to me now and hear the words I have to say. Let me fill your mind with my thoughts today and drive the depression away. Your mind is clouded with many varied thoughts that leave you tired and weary and in a depressive state. Turn your thoughts over to me and let me sort through them all. Let me dismantle the jumbled mess and make sense of it all. You’re having a hard time even thinking through one thought, so slow yourself down and rest your head in my hands.

Each new day brings a myriad of thoughts and sometimes it’s like a carousel spinning and you don’t even know where to jump on. Stop what you are doing and let me settle your heart and mind. Come to me with open hands and let me counsel you one thought at a time. See yourself walking through each situation and ask me what to do for each scenario you are walking through. Don’t hurry through your day just pushing through – but come to me to set you free from worrisome thoughts that will only drag you down.

Sometimes it is hard to make the time to sit with me, but once you do, your mind becomes settled and you are at peace with me. I want nothing but the best for you and it is so much easier when you bring those thoughts to me. Your mind carries a heavy load and sometimes that’s why you feel like you are towing a ton of bricks. Cast all your cares upon me and let me make your burden light. Don’t carry it all by yourself and have to fight through it for the whole rest of the day.

Turn those thoughts into a time of communion with me. Submit all those thoughts over to me and let me sort through them and show you a better way. Each day comes with a new load of problems and your time spent with me helps you solve each one of them. I know your heart and what makes it tick and I can infuse you with the joy of my presence. Having my joy makes everything better and having my mindset will make everything lighter.

Let me lighten that load that you are carrying and soften your rough edges with my healing balm. My presence is what you are needing and my presence makes each day new. Cast all your cares upon me because truly care for you. You may have questions that don’t get answered, but being in my presence will make you feel brand-new.

Open your hands up to me and surrender your love to me. Let me fill you with the joy and peace that you need. The mind I have given you becomes a jumbled mess when you haven’t surrendered it fully to me. I created you for oneness with me and there is a deep satisfaction when you spend your time with me. I made you for dependency upon me and when you turn to me everything becomes better. Complete surrender is what is needed, to have a mind and heart that is at peace with me. Come to me because I love you and I know just what you need.

James 4:7-8a New Life Version

⁷ So give yourselves to God. Stand against the devil and he will run away from you. ⁸ Come close to God and He will come close to you. 

Philippians 4:6-7 The Voice

⁶ Don’t be anxious about things; instead, pray. Pray about everything. He longs to hear your requests, so talk to God about your needs and be thankful for what has come. ⁷ And know that the peace of God (a peace that is beyond any and all of our human understanding) will stand watch over your hearts and minds in Jesus, the Anointed One.

1 Peter 5:6-7 New International Version

⁶ Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. ⁷ Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Matthew 6:34 New International Version

³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Psalm 73:28 The Voice

²⁸ But the closer I am to You, my God, the better because life with You is good.
    O Lord, the Eternal, You keep me safe—
    I will tell everyone what You have done.
