A Prayer about Spiritual Depression

God our Creator,

You formed us and knew us even before we were in our mother’s womb. 

You, better than any counselor, 

understand our emotional and mental struggles. 

When we struggle to put one foot in front of the other in a spiritual desert, 

help us to know that we can cry out to you, 

and you will answer us. 

You have given us true stories of real people 

who struggled as we have. 

Thank you. 

You have given us your Word 

promising that you will make all things new. 

Thank you. 

You give us reminders of your mercy in our everyday lives. 

Thank you. 

In Jesus’ loving name. Amen.

Read Psalm 34.
