Depression can be so hard to deal with. You may feel like you’re a bad person, that you’re not worth anything, that you’re a burden and would be better off dead. But none of that is true. The devils main tactics are lies and deceit so he is going to tell you lies to make you depressed and keep you depressed. But we can look at the word of God and gain comfort knowing God is with us in our times of Depression and that he will get us through it. Here is a list of some of my favorite verses to comfort me when I’m depressed.
