Hello, please keep me in your prayers, I have been feeling depressed lately and I'm just dragging. Please ask God if it's His will to lift up the depression and renew my mind and heart and grant me His joy. Thank you

Prayers for our brother, that this weight be lifted from his mind and heart and his soul be suffused with the joy of life and his faith.

Pray Psalm 8 (O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is your name....) and Psalm 139 (O Lord, you have searched me out and known me...)

I am glad to pray for you in your distress. Deprssion is a serious illness which deserves medical attention; and I hope you'll seek it. Reception of the Mystery of Anointing might also be a good idea.May your gloom be driven away like smoke before the wind.

May the Lord grant you strength and trust in Him. Recall how often you need others; others need you to. I would echo sielos' suggestion that you contact a priest and get anointed or blessed. See how that helps?

I will remember you in my prayers my brother. I too struggle with depression. It helps me to reach outside of myself, and to cling to God ever tighter.
