Prayer for Those Coping With Depression

Dear Lord, you are our refuge in good and in bad times. In your infinite mercy, bring peace and comfort to those of us who face days sometimes filled with pain and depression. 

Help us to realize that through you there is joy and the promise of lasting peace. 

Help us through the rough times. Walk before and beside us so that we may walk in your footsteps and reach out to you in our journey on this earth. 

Help us to focus on our blessings rather than our misfortunes, dear Lord. 

Thank you for hearing and answering our prayers. Amen




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

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
