So many in the body of Christ today are walking around heavy, weary, and weighed down. Depression has become a silent battle in the lives of believers everywhere. But the question the Lord is asking in this hour is: Why, Christian, are you depressed? You have resurrection power living inside of you. You are not a victim of your emotions—you are a victor through Christ Jesus. It’s time to get up, shake off the heaviness, and walk into the new season of praise and thanksgiving that God has prepared for you.

1. Psalm 42:11 (NKJV)

“Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.”

2. Isaiah 61:3 (NKJV)

“To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…”

3. Philippians 4:6–7 (NKJV)

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

4. Nehemiah 8:10 (NKJV)

“Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

5. Psalm 34:17–18 (NKJV)

“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.”

6. Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

7. 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (NKJV)

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God…”

8. Psalm 30:11–12 (NKJV)

“You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, to the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.”

It’s time to rise up, Christian. You’ve spent enough time under the weight of sadness and fear. The Lord is calling His people into maturity—into a season where we no longer live by emotions but by faith. Depression loses its grip when you begin to thank God for what He’s already done, rather than waiting for everything to be perfect.

You may not feel it right now, but joy is coming. God is saying, “Get up. Wash your face. Put on the garment of praise. I am doing a new thing.”

This is your moment to step out of the valley and into His victory. Lift your hands, open your mouth, and declare: “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth!” (Psalm 34:1 NKJV)
