Father,

I come to You with a heavy heart.

My sadness feels like a weight I cannot lift.

My depression feels like a fog I cannot see through.

I am tired. I am weary. I need You.

You heal the crushed in spirit.

You collect my tears in Your bottle.

You care for me.

I cast my burden on You.

I give You my sadness.

I give You my depression.

I give You my weariness.

I give You my heart.

Fill me with Your joy.

Fill me with Your presence.

I will put my hope in You.

I will praise You again.

You are my Savior and my God.

🕊️ A Declaration of Hope

I declare today:

The Lord is near to me.

He heals my broken heart.

He collects my tears.

He cares for me.

My sadness will not last forever.

My depression will not have the final word.

Joy is coming.

💎 A Final Encouragement

Please also care for yourself practically. Talk to a trusted friend, a pastor, or a professional counselor. Sometimes God heals through community, through wise counsel, and through medical care. Seeking help is not a lack of faith—it is wisdom. You are not alone. God sees you, He loves you, and He is with you. Keep holding on. He will bring you through.

“Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5)
