Prayer to Release Sadness and Depression.

God understands that there will be times we may feel sadness and even depression. Life challenges, changes ad failures may occur which can increase sadness, but God does not want you to stay in this emotion too long. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.  

Here is a prayer that may help you.

Heavenly Father God, I come to you now in the name of Jesus.

Lord, I am struggling with sadness and depression to the point where it is affecting my life greatly. The things that I am going through have created this sadness and I would like to be released from it.

Lord, release this sadness and depression from me as it feels like a heavy weight upon me. I can feel it every day, and it seems to never go away. I want to feel happy again even though my life has had some unwanted changes.

Please help me to look at the brighter side of things as you have not created me to have sadness and depression everyday but to have faith in you as I process and come to terms with what is making me sad.

I love you and have prayed these things in Jesus’ name.

Amen!
