The Lord is not only our Rock and our fortress but also our Deliverer. Deliverer in the text means someone who rescues you from harm or danger, so think Jesus Christ. God is our Deliverer, and he keeps us safe and from danger and ourselves. Depression comes from within, and stress comes from within because of external situations.

Therefore, we end up weak and lack strength because depression sucks our strength from us; stress pulls strength from us because it feels like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. But David said, "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." Psalms 42:5 NIV

Speak to yourself today and tell depression and stress God is my Deliverer. I will hope in God, my Rock, Fortress, and Deliverer. Then tell yourself I will praise God, my savior, Deliverer, Jesus Christ. The weight and burdens are getting lighter, and strength is being restored. Praise takes the attention off of what I'm dealing with and places my attention on who God is. We focus on God, our Deliverer, as he changes everything by giving us new perspectives and strength.

Deliverance is on the way, family, for that depression, that stress, that disappointment, that setback, and that fight. God is our Deliverer, and he is our strength. Hope in God today you are coming out of that situation better in Jesus’s name. Amen.
