The Lord Jesus Taught us About Prayer in Giving us the Lord’s Prayer

⁵And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
⁶But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
⁷But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
⁸Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
⁹After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
¹⁰Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
¹¹Give us this day our daily bread.
¹²And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
¹³And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
¹⁴For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
¹⁵But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (Matthew 6:5-15, King James Version)

Surviving Depression: “Being with Jesus – Jesus in me” How to pray to Lord Jesus when you don’t feel worthy.
Keys to this prayer for depression are breathing slowly – that’s the physical; and accepting yourself – that’s the spiritual. It’s not whether or not we can love Jesus, or anyone else; but that Lord Jesus will love and accept us – no matter how depressed we feel within: No matter how much we have condemned ourselves.

A simple form of prayer when prayer seems impossible or whenever you want to pray simply

Do you have depression symptoms? If so, take a depression test. It is important to seek help – it’s too easy with the shame and humiliation to keep it to yourself.

Beyond seeking professional help for depression – which is the right thing to do first up; there is the spiritual side to depression which also needs urgent attention – before letting things slide too far. Let’s face it – it’s hard to pray at the best of times, let alone when we feel least worthy. I feel that the real key is allowing yourself to be incapable of helping yourself. Just as admitting to yourself the need to seek help outwardly from a caring professional with experience in depression is vital: so is to admit inwardly the need for help. Many people probably know the Jesus prayer – along the lines of, ” I’ve lost control over every part of my life, and ask you Jesus to come and be the Master in my heart and help me – because I can’t help myself”. Well it’s true – and one of our chiefest blessings, should we come to that point in our life. You have to really mean it you see. It’s no good asking for a quick fix and temporary relief from our depression and stress – we really do have to mean it.

To survive depression – and to look back and count being depressed as one of your chiefest blessings – act now – outwardly and inwardly. Outwardly, seek help straight away from your MD/GP. Inwardly, try to let yourself breathe slowly and pray from your heart – quietly until a sense of calm comes – and ultimately until a “still, small voice” comes – telling you that it will be all right – and it will be.

Don’t Give Up – You are Loved: Hold on in hard times: hold on and call out with a humble heart to our Lord Jesus. Our Lord hears the prayer of the hurting and the broken-hearted. He comes in to help and lift up those whose spirit has been broken.
John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1 John 5:5
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Revelation 21:7
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son

¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
¹⁸Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
¹⁹And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, (Ephesians 6:17-19, King James Version)
