Depression can be defeated by acknowledging the feelings of being depressed and allowing the Holy Spirit to bring peace and comfort in positive thoughts. Our thinking plays a major role in how we feel. Thoughts are impacted by circumstances and situations that we often have no control over. God wants us to cast our cares, hopelessness, and feelings of sadness over to him. This will allow us to not distracted by our emotions which are subject to change and potentially cause us to go into the wrong direction if they are not addressed. God loves us so much and He does not want us to be in a state of depression. “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”

1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭
