How You Can Get Help For Your Depression
Step 1. Pray About Your Depression
Cover your depression in prayer. Ask God to connect you with the right counselor. Pray that God will open your eyes to the roots of your struggles and help you deal with them once and for all. Ask him to heal you from your depression and give you the tools to deal with your triggers. He will hear and answer your prayers, friend, because he keeps all your tears in little bottles (Psalm 56:8 NLT).
Also, pray that God will guard and protect your marriage as you work to overcome your depression. He will show you ways to stay connected and rely on your husband through your trial. Trust God to give you the answers and direction you need.
