Overcoming Depression

1-Minute Devotion for Sunday, 10/18/26

One day recently, depression hit me hard. It was the kind of depression that was almost overwhelming. Was it a spiritual attack? I think it was. But the Holy Spirit reminded me of King David’s prayer when he was discouraged and depressed.

“But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.” Psalm 3:3 KJV Read full chapter

King David’s prideful son, Absalom, exalted himself before the people of Israel and proclaimed himself king. King David and his officials were forced to flee for their lives. (2 Samuel 15-17)

David loved his son, Absalom. Can you imagine how depressing that would be? David looked to the Lord, the lifter of his head, and God strengthened him. He will do the same for you and for me.

In His Love, Cindy
