Prayer For Depression From the Holy Spirit : Almighty and eternal Father, we ask you through the intersession of our Holy Mother and all the holy Apostles and Disciples who suffered terrible depression and confusion for three day, when they saw the body of their master Jesus dead in the tomb after seeing him working so many miracles, but on the third day they saw the Resurrection of Jesus all depression vanished and was replaced by a great glory. Heavenly Father, We ask you to look down on all those suffering from depression, to send your Holy Spirit to banish that cloud of depression especially for …… (name). We ask this through the resurrection of your beloved son Amen.
