Life can sometimes knock you down really hard. And most of the time, you feel like nobody understands what you are going through. You can’t even pray to God anymore because the enemy has bombarded your thoughts with so many discouraging notions and lies. This is one of the schemes of the enemy to get believers entangled with depression.
You should be aware that as believers we have a spiritual enemy who brings all kinds of hardships, trials, temptations, and sicknesses to life. It is never God Who brings them. If no human father truly desires to see his children suffer, how much more our heavenly Father, Who gives sunshine and rain to both good and evil people?
How to Pray in the Morning When Battling Depression
Depression is a joy killer, a life sucker, and a dream breaker. Whenever this sickness hits a person, life is drained down to zero, but this should not be the case with you because of your faith. God has given you faith in Jesus Christ, Who said, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, KJV).

Jesus Christ has overcome the world, including its sorrows, sufferings, trials, and temptations. And He is risen and alive right now to help you overcome this world as well.
Depression is just one of the schemes that Satan throws down on the believer; it manifests as strong discouragement and hopeless thoughts and emotions. But you should know that God made you an overcomer. You don’t have to believe in the lies of the enemy every time you wake up.

So, when depression hits you the moment you wake up, pick up your shield and sword, which is your faith and the Word of God. Use it and declare it in prayer, and the Spirit of God will help you and empower you! You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus! Don’t give up. Keep pressing on until you break through in your morning prayer!
