Dear Saints,

It's good to be back with you.  I have this prayer as a guide to help you through any hard times.  It is the time to rejoice!

Father, You are my refuge and my high tower and my stronghold in times of trouble.  I lean on and confidently put my trust in You, for You have not forsaken me.  I seek You on the authority of Your Word and the right of my necessity.  I praise You, the help of my countenance and my God.

Lord, You lift up those who are bowed down.  Therefore, I am strong and my heart takes courage.  I am far even from the thought of oppression for I fear not.  I am far from terror, for it shall not come near me.

Father, You have thoughts and plans for my welfare and peace.  My mind is stayed on You, for I stop allowing myself to be agitated and disturbed and intimidated.

I submit to You, Father, and resist fear, discouragement, self-pity, and depression.  I surround myself with songs and shouts of deliverance from depression, and I will continue to be an overcomer by the word of my testimony and the blood of the Lamb. 

I have a fresh mental and spiritual attitude, for I am constantly renewed in the spirit of my mind with Your Word, Father.  I arise from the depression in which circumstances have kept me.  I rise to new life.

Thank You, Father, in Jesus' name, that I am set free from every evil work.  I praise You that the joy of the Lord is my strength and stronghold!
