🌟 Five Things To Do to Overcome Depression
By Evangelist Oluyemi Stephen Beloved Ministries
1. 🧎♂️ Seek God in Prayer.
Bible Explanation: "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." — 1 Peter 5:7 Prayer is a lifeline to God. When depression clouds your heart, pour it out before the Lord. He listens, He heals, and He restores.
2. 📖 Meditate on God’s Word.
Bible Explanation: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." — Psalm 119:105 The Word of God brings light into dark places. Meditating on scriptures of hope, healing, and joy can renew your mind and lift your spirit.
3. 🤝 Fellowship with Believers.
Bible Explanation: "Let us not give up meeting together... but encouraging one another." — Hebrews 10:25 Isolation fuels depression. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and remind you of God’s promises.
4. 🎶 Worship and Praise.
Bible Explanation: "The joy of the Lord is your strength." — Nehemiah 8:10 Worship shifts your focus from problems to the greatness of God. Praise invites His presence, and in His presence, there is fullness of joy.

Bible Explanation: "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2 Helping others brings purpose and perspective. It reminds you that your life matters and that God can use your pain for someone else's healing.
