Are prayers capable of healing someone of their depression?
Have faith in your prayers that the storm will pass. Have faith that God will always be there for you. Have faith that God gives you the strength to pass through your problems. Have faith it will be better tomorrow. When I had a breakdown, I said to my self I don’t want to believe in God because it is no use. But it turned out I became more lost than before, so I hoped and had faith in God that everything will be okay. That I don’t have to stress a lot because He knows me better. If it is meant to be, it will be. And the end will be okay. I try to do my very best but let God do the rest.
I can testify to the effectiveness of such prayer. I was healed completely of depression. My healing came about through spiritual discipline, through turning to God and allowing His goodness and love to form my thoughts, my hopes, my desires, my expectations. Whatever shape it may take, doesn’t depression stem from the basic belief in a mind and a life apart from God? The healing of depression through prayer, then, involves unmasking this error through a realization that God alone is Mind, the true source of our thoughts and feelings, and resolutely holding to the spiritual truth of our perfect, God-created selfhood as the likeness of the one Mind. Through God’s help we can succeed in turning away from aggressive evil thoughts. Healing comes when we yield to the joyous and hope-filled thoughts that God, perfect good, imparts ceaselessly to bless man.
