Isaiah 61:3
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil
of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be
called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Happiness First, Then Everything Else
Reprinted With Permission By Steve Pavlina
I f you accept a job, a relationship, or a lifestyle that you merely tolerate — but don’t
appreciate — you’re putting other concerns ahead of your own happiness.
Social conditioning may have convinced you that sacrificing your happiness to
maintain a certain bank balance, to send timely payments to corporations to which
you’re indebted, or to pay for someone else’s needs and expenses is the proper way to
live. Perhaps your parents played a role in this conditioning as well, teaching you the
importance of being responsible and holding down stable employment.
If you do these things well, then according to this conditioning, you are successful.
You’re doing what’s expected of you, and no one could fault you for that.
But sooner or later you’ll come to realize that successfully paying the bills and satisfying
other people’s needs, while depriving yourself of a happy life you’re truly passionate
about, is no success at all. In fact, it is complete and utter failure.
If you’ve found yourself in this situation, then you’ve terribly misunderstood the game
of life.
While you may have been convinced that these duties are important, the truth is that
they’re of no particular importance to people with high self-esteem and a positive
sense of self-worth. Such people do not care how much money you make, what kind
of provider you are, or how long you’ve been married to the same person. They’re
much more curious about something else: how you feel about yourself and the path
you’re walking.
I have many friends who earn very little money, can’t or won’t hold down stable
jobs, and have constantly churning relationship lives. And yet, if they are happy with
themselves, I typically find them fascinating and valuable people to have in my life.
I also have friends who’ve been blessed by tremendous financial success, with brilliant,
decades-spanning careers and deeply loving, committed relationships. If they too are
happy with themselves, I find them just as fascinating and rewarding to connect with.
When, however, I connect with people who are responsibly doing their duty, but who
haven’t yet cultivated a life of happiness, I can’t help but notice the sallow desperation
in their eyes, the numbness with which they speak, and the damned-if-I-do-damned-
if-I-don’t game of self-deception they play each day. They feel trapped and lost to the
ix
The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression
point where they label feelings like depression and frustration with words like “fine”
and “okay.”
If you find yourself in such a situation, there is a way out, and it begins with finally
acknowledging the truth to yourself and diving into the dark places where you think
it may lead. Accept your situation as it is, and most importantly, accept how you feel
about it. The reality is that the darkness you fear is really nothing to fear at all. Yes, you
may face some challenges, but that is how you’ll grow.
Do you love and appreciate your work? Do you love and appreciate your relationships?
Do you love and appreciate your lifestyle? What is the truth?
You cannot get unstuck so long as you remain in perpetual denial. No external rescue
will appear. But there is indeed a path to freedom, and it lies on the other side of denial
and self-deception — on the side of truth and acceptance.
What does happiness look like? Happiness is waking up feeling optimistic and expectant
about the day you get to live. Happiness makes it hard to stay in bed once you awaken.
A rich day full of new experiences and creative expression awaits you. It is an exciting
thing to behold. Happiness is the stillness that exists within energy and movement.
When you are happy, you can still pay your bills on time, but you’ll make better
choices about what bills are worth incurring. Some of your current bills and expenses
might never have been created, had you been living a happy and inspired life to begin
with.
When you are happy, you can still support others if you wish, but this will be done
because you truly want to do it, not because you feel obligated to do so.
When you are happy, you can still enjoy a stable career, but you’ll produce significantly
more value in less time because happiness inspires creativity and action, and creative
action is a wellspring of opportunity — a wellspring which can, if so desired, produce
abundant income for you.
Rest assured, your world will not explode simply because you’ve decided to make
your own happiness a real priority. More likely, the response from the universe will be
akin to a sighing, What took you so long?
When I’ve made decisions that were aligned with my own happiness first, I’ve heard the
occasional (sometimes frequent) outcries of those objecting to my choices, but these
objections invariably came from those who weren’t happy with their own choices. My
decision was a painful reminder of that, and hence I can understand, empathize with,
and forgive the momentary insanity on their part — the insanity which presumes that
x
Happiness First, Then Everything Else
their wallowing in unhappiness could possibly persuade me to join them under any
circumstances.
But far worse than the vocal objections of others are the simulated objections that exist
only within your mind — the simulated fear of disapproval.
In all honesty which is more important to you: the approval of others, or your own
happiness?
If you aren’t happy, you don’t approve of yourself, and hence no one of consequence
can approve of you anyway. They will recognize plain as day that your priorities have
produced a dismal and wretched failure of a life. If you place approval above your own
happiness, you ultimately end up with neither. You’ll be unhappy, and you cannot
expect anyone to truly approve of you for that. Whatever approval you do receive will
be as fake as the contentment you pretend to harbor.
The approval of others is inconsequential, but if you successfully create a happy life
for yourself, you will have your own self-approval, and that is worth something. When
your happiness becomes a true priority, you’ll soon notice a conspiracy of ridiculous
abundance, including happy relationships with other happy and attractive people,
strong motivation to express yourself creatively, and a lifestyle that yanks you out of
bed with a “Wow!”

Introduction
H ealing scriptures are God’s gift to us through Christ. God’s healing scriptures will
bring healing to your mind, soul, body and spirit. Depression, anxiety and stress
are related illnesses. The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression will bring peace
to your mind and joy to your spirit. I invite you to follow my 21 day program of healing
scriptures for healing of the mind and renewal of the spirit. The Lord gave me these
healing scriptures and I’m giving them to you.
Healing scriptures from God’s word are the perfect remedy for depression, anxiety and
stress. In fact, healing scriptures are the best and most perfect remedy for all healing.
John 8:36 If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Jesus Christ
came to give us the abundant life. A life that is abundant includes healing from physical
as well as mental illness. Christ did not die on the cross so that God’s children could
remain in bondage to sicknesses of the mind or body. Christ came to free us all from
all afflictions.
God’s healing scriptures hold the key for recovery from depression. What must you
do to lift a heavy feeling of intense sadness? The answer is found in the Book of Isaiah.
God’s healing scripture found in Isaiah 61 is one of my top healing scriptures for
recovery from depression, stress and anxiety.
Isaiah 61:1-6 are the words spoken by Jesus when he began his ministry. Embedded in
its verses are healing scriptures that give God’s precise remedy for lifting a heavy spirit
of intense sadness.
The promises of Isaiah 61 brought me complete healing from clinical depression. The
Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression, outlines the simple faith steps I took that
healed me, took me off depression medication, led me to a new career as a support
group leader and mental health advocate.
More blessings followed. I began writing my tesitmony, was published in two journals
and became a paid speaker. In addiction, I began writing my testimony, was published
in two journals, and became a paid speaker. To God be the Glory!
God can and will do the impossible if you let him. If you follow the Lord’s divine
advice you too can be healed. I suffered from depression, anxiety and stress for many
years but one word from God lifted me to new heights in Christ and total healing. God
will do the same for you.

Introduction
God will do for you what he did for me. He will heal your mind and restore your joy
permanently. God is your father and mine and is no respecter of persons. Now I will
point you to the exact scriptures that turned my mourning into joy. Let’s take a look at
God’s healing scriptures and remedy for a heavy spirit. Then I will explain the 45 day
program in The Healing Scriptures Depression Workbook.
The scripture in question is Isaiah 61:3. In this healing scripture Jesus is describing
some of the things he came to earth to do. Jesus came to appoint certain blessings to
those who believed on his name. Let’s look at the healing scripture in Isaiah 61:
Isaiah 61:1 Jesus came to…To appoint unto THEM THAT MOURN in Zion, to GIVE
THEM beauty for ashes, the OIL OF JOY for morning, the GARMENT OF PRAISE for the
SPIRIT of HEAVINESS; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of
the Lord, that he might be glorified.
You are a tree of righteousness. God has planted you and has already given you BEAUTY
for ashes. God through Christ has beautified your past which may have seemed like
ashes. If you are MOURNING, if you are depressed Jesus Christ has a bottle of OIL of
JOY that you may anoint yourself with.
The healing scripture in Isaiah 61 gives you the exact direction for applying God’s
remedy for a HEAVY SPIRIT OF DEPRESSION. Jesus wants you to PUT ON the
GARMENT OF PRAISE.3This is God’s OIL of JOY through Christ. Put on the GARMENT
OF PRAISE to heal and remove a HEAVY SPIRIT of depression. PRAISING GOD heals!
Praising God through Christ heals. Sickness can not remain when we PRAISE GOD as
if praise were our GARMENT.
How can you put on THE GARMENT of PRAISE and be healed from a HEAVY SPIRIT
of depression, anxiety and stress?
The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression outlines a very simple 21 day journal
writing program, that I used my self and still use today. It is very, very simple. It does
not cost a dime for Jesus Christ paid the price for ALL HEALING AND BLESSINGS at
the cross.
The program I’m giving you, in The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression is
extremely simple, each day you will write out, in long hand, one praise psalms I have
selected from the Book of Psalms. Writing these healing scriptures will etch the word
of God and PRAISE in your spirit. You will write out one scripture per day first thing in
the morning. I proclaim that you shall enjoy every blessed minute and time spent with
the Lord.
xiii
You will be soaking your mind, spirit soul and body with Praise. After which you will
read the scripture out loud.
I have presented the healing scriptures in way that make them personal to you. All you
will need is a pen and a journal or notebook.
Don’t miss a day and remember God said that PRAISE will LIFT a SPIRIT of HEAVINESS.
The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression will make things easier for you.
Depression, anxiety and stress can make it difficult to PRAISE God.
It was very difficult for me but the Lord showed me this easy way. Now I am showing
you by way of The Healing Scriptures Workbook which I put together just for you from
King David’s PRAISE PSALMS.
I use PRAISE PSALMS exclusively so be sure to write out just the healing scripture
praise psalms, presented in the workbook. You can always write as many as you like.
You are a tree of righteousness. Christ has already set you free. For your healing, begin
this praise psalm, writing journey for peace and fullness of Joy.
God will without a doubt bless you with his supernatural joy and peace.May the
Lord Jesus strengthen you for these 21 days as you work with the Healing Scriptures
Workbook for Depression.
Follow the series along with me. Day one begins in my next article. My prayers are
with you and feel free to communicate with me by email as you do the program.

DAY 1
H ealing scriptures are God’s gift to us through Christ. God’s healing scriptures will
bring healing to your mind, soul, body and spirit. Welcome to day one of the
program. May the Lord’s peace surround your spirit and may God’s love embrace you
today, as you work through The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Healing scriptures are God’s gift to you today. Jesus Christ was also called The Rose of
Sharon. I pray that the picture above reminds you of his grace and tender mercy.
Read the healing scriptures below that glorify Jesus Christ and describes him as the
tender aromatic rose:
The Song of Solomon 2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. As the lily
among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
Are there thorns of worry, depression, stress or anxiety in your life? Fear not for Christ
is as a lily among thorns. Christ is in you and with you. The aroma of his love floats
from today’s healing scripture. As you write remember and imagine the beauty of the
rose and its aroma.
This is day one of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. Remember, God
wants you to praise his name so that your spirit can soar.
Things you will need to write out your healing scriptures of praise:
•• A pen or colored pencils
•• A journal or notebook
•• A quiet spot in your home
Tips: Always start first thing in the morning as soon as you awake. Don’t let anything
get in your way. Wake up a bit earlier if you have to. The exercise should not take you
more than 20 to 30 minutes. You can always do more if you like.
You will just be writing out one healing scripture praise psalm a day. One psalm from
David’s psalm daily. I have copied the psalm in the first person. All you have to do is
write it out in your journal then read it out loud. Take your time, sit in your favorite
place and enjoy what you write. I proclaim that you shall enjoy every minute.

Healing Scriptures #1
Psalm 8
1 O Lord God how excellent is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory
above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouths of babes and suckling you have ordained strength because of your
enemies that you might still your enemies and the avenger.
3 When I consider your hands and the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,
which you have ordained;
4 Who am I that you are mindful of me. What is man that you are mindful of him? and
the son of man that you visit him?
5 Oh dear Lord, you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned
him with glory and honor. Oh dear Lord you have also crowned me with glory and
honor through your son Jesus.
6 You made him to have dominion over the works of your hand, you have put all things
under his feet. Lord I praise your glorious name, you also have blessed my life with
many blessings. Oh Lord God how absolutely wonderful is your name. I love you Lord
God.
Tip: Remember that the above verses are adapted directly from the psalms and
personalized so you benefit from these healing scriptures. Read what you have written
in your journal aloud.
Allow yourself as you write to think upon the words and read aloud putting your
feelings into it. Go about your day as usual in peace and joy. As you write daily you’ll
find that the scripture will come to mind when you least expect it.
Have a glorious day. I shall meet with you again on day two…

DAY 2
H ealing scriptures will help you heal from every manner of illness. God's healing
scriptures are the whole Bible. Healing scriptures truly are, every word that falls from
the mouth of God. Yet, there are certain healing scriptures of praise that God ordained.
These healing scriptures of praise, lift the spirit to new heights of joy unspeakable.
Welcome to day two of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Healing scriptures of praise and worship to God will lift a spirit of heaviness. God said
it and so it is. God does not lie. He has given us a divine prescription for healing from
depression, anxiety and stress.
Healing scriptures that praise God will take your mind out of the darkness of negative
thinking and usher your very thoughts into the throne room of God.
Welcome to day two of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. I pray that
yesterday found you joyous as you completed your first writing exercise. This program
is a journal writing program. Instead of writing your own thoughts you shall pen God’s
praises.
There is tremendous benefit in writing out the Psalms of David. As I shared in the
introduction, God’s remedy for healing a heavy spirit is praise. Praise lifts the spirit to
new heights as stated in Isaiah 61.
When you write healing scriptures and praise, you do three things for your self. First
you see the words. Next you shall hear the words in your spirit. Last but not least, the
flow of your pen’s movement will help you focus.
Writing is a healing art. Many people journal their frustrations or celebrate their joy in
words. You will be doing something more. Something divine! You will be writing the
very thoughts and heart of God.
My heart and my prayers are with you today as you complete day two of The Healing
Scriptures Workbook for Depression. Enjoy these moments with God as you write out
your healing scriptures.
Take your time. Think as you write. Contemplate the healing scriptures that impress your
spirit. Enjoy this writing exercise as you would enjoy a walk in the park in springtime.
Linger on each word. Let the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit caress you with God’s
words.
3
Tip: Be sure to find a comfortable quiet spot in your home. Wake up a bit earlier
when all is quiet. Don’t let anything get in your way. God is calling you each day to
commune with him.
Let the worries of the world fade. Think of nothing else but God’s healing scriptures
sent to you from the Holy Spirit. Make this writing exercise your first priority. Do your
daily prayers then delve right in. Take note of God’s promises for healing below:
Jeremiah 30:17
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds.
There you have it! God has spoken to you in the healing scriptures above.
The writing exercise and healing scriptures for day two, are taken from Psalm 19.
Today’s writing exercise is a little longer than yesterdays. Tackle it with joy knowing
that God desires to bless you beyond compare.
Things you will need:
•• Your pen
•• Your journal
•• An expectant and prayerful heart
Tip: Find that quiet peaceful place where ever it may be. Remember that the healing
scriptures I give you are written in the first person, especially for your own heart. Get
to your special place and begin to write. Enjoy!
Psalm 19
1 Oh Lord God, the heavens declare your glory. The heavens declare your glory Oh
God; and the firmament shows forth your handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night shows knowledge. There is no
speech or language where their voice is not heard.
3 Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
In them Lord, you have set a tabernacle for the sun,
4 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and like a strong man to run
a race.
7 Your law oh Lord is perfect, converting my soul. Your testimony dear Lord is sure
making me wise though I am simple.
4
DAY 2—Healing Scriptures #2
8 Your statues dear Lord are right, rejoicing my heart: your commandments dear Lord
are pure enlightening my eyes.
9 The fear of you is clean, enduring forever: Lord, your judgments are true and righteous
altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than
honey and the honey comb.
11 I am your servant Lord and by your judgments I am warned and in keeping them
there is great reward for me.
12 Who can understand their errors? I can not understand my errors. Cleanse me dear
Lord, from secret faults.
13 I am your servant, keep me back also from presumptuous sins; let them not have
dominion over me for I am your servant. Then I shall be upright, and I shall be innocent
of great transgression.
14 Dear Father, in heaven, let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight. O Lord, you are my strength and my redeemer.
Tip: You have written out the healing scriptures for day two. Remember to read with
expression all you have penned. As you go about your day, remember that the Lord
Jesus has redeemed and given you strength. Call upon him when you are in need of
comfort and peace. He will carry your burdens and carry you where you fear to tread.
There is no problem or negative emotion that the Lord Jesus can not temper and heal.
My prayers are with you. The Lord Jesus walks with you side by side. To God be the
glory. See you on day three.

DAY 3
H ealing scriptures are the medicine of God. Add the healing scriptures remedy for
total health and well being. God’s healing scriptures are honey on the tongue
and as kisses from heaven which disarm negative thinking. Are you suffering from
depression, anxiety or stress? Healing scriptures are what you need. Welcome to day
three of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Healing scriptures are free and easy to digest. Healing scriptures grace the pages of the
Bible in abundance. Every single word from God is laced with the nectar of healing.
Yet, healing scriptures that praise God, nix negative thoughts and bring peace and joy.
Focus on God’s power. Redeem anxious thought patterns with healing scriptures from
the Bible. Use this 45 day Healing Scriptures program to quicken your steps on the road
to recovery. Welcome to day three of The Healing Scriptures Depression Workbook.
You have come this far and I’m grateful for your progress. Remember what God said
in the Book of Isaiah told us that the remedy for a heavy spirit was that we put on
the garment of praise. A garment is oh so close to the body. God wants us to clothe
ourselves with praise. Let’s begin!
Go to that comfortable spot you love. Prepare yourself for a blessed time with the Lord.
Grab your pen and begin to write. Think deeply as you write and consider that you are
directing every word to God himself. You shall be praising him by writing out healing
scriptures from the Book of Psalms. Today’s writing exercise comes from Psalm 27,
verses 1 to 6.
Psalm 27
1 Lord you are my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? Dear Lord you are the
strength of my life, I don't fear anyone.
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh they
stumbled and fell.
3 Even if a host of people encamp about me, my heart will not fear: even if war should
rise up against me, in this I will be confident.
6
4 One thing I desire of you dear Lord, that will I seek after, I desire that I may dwell in
your house all the days of my life, to behold your beauty my Lord, and to enquire in
your temple.
5 In my times of trouble, I know you will hide me in your pavilion: in the secret of your
tabernacle you shall hide me, I know you shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head is lifted up above mine enemies round about me, therefore I offer
in your tabernacle sacrifices of joy. I sing, I sing praises to your holy name.
7 I know you hear me when I cry with my voice, I know of your tender mercy. Have
mercy upon me and answer my calls most holy Father. In the mighty name of your son
Jesus I proclaim and praise your holy name.
Tip: Remember that these healing scriptures from the Book of Psalms are written in the
first person. They address your own heart using the format of the Psalms as closely as
possible. After you write out these Psalms, read these healing scriptures out loud with
expression. Give God glory and proceed to start your day.
May the Lord Jesus flood your heart with peace, love and joy. My prayers are with you.
Feel free to share your writing journey with me below.
I shall meet with you again on day four of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for
Depression.

DAY 4
H ealing scriptures from the word of God will mend the heart, spirit, soul and
body. The healing scriptures from the Bible are heaven sent, divinely inspired
and infused with power to bring about healing. You can change negative thought
patterns to positive with God’s healing scriptures. Welcome to day four of The Healing
Scriptures Workbook for Depression. This is a 21 day journal writing program which
will bathe every cell in your body with divine joy.
Healing scriptures from the word of God grace the pages of the Bible in abundance.
Every word that falls from the mouth of God has the power to change every thought
into joyful praises. Healing scriptures of praise to God take the mind off troubles and
worries.
Why focus on what’s wrong when you can focus on what’s right? Why focus on worldly
troubles when God sent Jesus Christ to bring salvation and victory over the world and
its strife.
Troubles will come and go but God stays the same forever and so do his promises. This
world will pass away but God always was and always will be.
Healing scriptures and the word of God are not just nice sayings or uplifting life lessons.
The word of God is God himself, speaking to us directly, by the way of the Holy Spirit.
We have Jesus in our hearts. He is present in us just as he was 2000 years ago. Let’s
look at what Jesus did 2000 years ago in Matthew 9:35:
Matthew 9:35
And Jesus went all about the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease
among the people.
Did you read that? Wow! Jesus went about healing every sickness and every disease.
So you see, depression, anxiety, stress and any other ailment has been nailed to the
cross. You are risen with Christ and will live a life of joy if you would but focus your
mind on God’s healing scriptures.
This is day four of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. My joy is full and
I’m so exited to know that you have come this far. To God be the Glory!

You have been writing out scripture, in long hand. You are using your pen to etch the
word of God into your very blood stream. Not only that, writing out healing scriptures,
etch God’s divine healing into your spirit, soul and body. By the time you finish this 21
day program you will notice a shift in thinking.
This program is not the healer. The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression,
written by Minister Marlene is not the healer. God through Christ is the healer. The
word of God heals.
It is the word of God that will heal if you let it. I just want you to understand this fully.
All I have done is put the praise psalm, healing scriptures together in one place. This
will help you as you write God’s scriptures out, in long and.
God showed me a creative way to get his word in me to overcome depression and I’m
sharing it with you. Please know that your healing comes from God alone, through
Christ.Today’s healing scriptures for writing are in Psalm 23 followed by a short
prayer. Write out your scripture and prayer. Then read aloud all you have written with
expression to our Lord. Enjoy every moment of your time alone with God. Find that
comfortable spot by the window or elsewhere. Grab your pen and begin.
Tips: Remember to write out scripture first thing in the morning. Don’t miss a day.
Show God that he is first in your life.
Psalm 23
1 Lord you are my shepherd I shall not want.
2 You make me to lie down in green pastures. You lead me beside the still waters.
3 You restore my soul, you lead me in the paths of righteousness for your names sake.4.
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you
are with me; your rod and staff comfort me.
5 You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head with
oil and my cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in
your house forever dear Lord.
Your prayer to write: Heavenly farther, I praise your glorious name. I worship Lord God
almighty for you are the creator of all, ruler of all, all knowing all seeing, all powerful one and
only God. You sent your son Jesus to this world to tell us of your Kingdom.
9
You sent your son Jesus into this world to save us from death by sin, and to give us eternal life
if we believe on his name. I believe and Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
Jesus is alive in me every single day. Jesus is my shepherd I shall not want. Thank you dear
God for your great and tender mercies.
You have finished day four. Think on these things as you go about your day. You’ll
find that God’s healing scriptures will raise up in your spirit when you least expect it.
Soon hearing the word of God within you will come naturally. Keep writing! Let your
pen continue to praise God’s glorious name, by writing out God’s healing scriptures.
It’s been a blessing and a pleasure to share these writing exercises with you.
These writings from the Psalms of David are God’s, for the Bible was written by the
very finger of God.
My prayers are with you. May the unspeakable, overwhelming joy of the Lord Jesus
flood every single cell off your body today and forever. I shall meet with you again on
day five of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.

DAY 5
H ealing scriptures capture the heart and mend every rift. God's healing scriptures,
like refreshing water flowing from a wellspring of joy, will quench the thirst. Do
you have a thirst for joy? Have the world's troubles got you down? Do you struggle
with depression, anxiety or stress? If you do, you must soak yourself in the water of
God's word. God's healing scriptures are as refreshing as a summer rain. Welcome to
day five of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. This 21 day journal style/
scripture writing program will shower you with God's love, peace, and joy.
Healing scriptures from the word of God are a priceless, precious gift from God’s heart
to yours. Just as the rainfall flows down freely to refresh, Gods word is just as refreshing
and his healing is available to you, without money and without price.
In the Book of Isaiah God calls you to come to his wellspring and drink. God invites
us to drink of the water of his word and promises contained in the healing scriptures
of Isaiah 55:1,2. Let’s refresh our eyes and drink in God’s word as given to the prophet
Isaiah:
Isaiah 55:1-2
1 (God says) Ho, everyone who thirsts come ye to the waters and drink, and he that has
no money; come ye, buy and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and
WITHOUT PRICE.
2 (God also says) Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? And you labor
for what doesn't satisfy. Hearken diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let
your soul delight itself in fatness.
Oh my! Listen to God’s invitation to you. He wants you to come to him. God has
water of refreshment and bread. Our father calls us to a meal of feasting upon his word
and his salvation through Christ. God says we sometimes buy what does not satisfy,
meanwhile God’s sacred food and drink costs nothing.
Welcome to day five of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. This 21 day
journal style/scripture writing program will cost you nothing but your time. Do you
have the time to sit and drink the cool waters of the word today? Of course you do, for
you have come this far with writing and we meet again. It is so good to see you!Today’s
healing scriptures are in Psalm 33. Go then meet with God. Go with journal and pen in
hand. scriptures.to your special place where you Go and write out these healingGod
11
will fill you up to overflowing with waters of peace love and joy. Whenever the cup of
your life feels empty, and troubles overwhelm you, let God fill you up with his healing
scriptures, as you spend time writing out his word.
Psalm 30
1. I exalt your name O Lord for you have lifted me up and have not let my foes rejoice
over me.
2 O Lord, my precious Lord, I cried out to you and you have healed me.3 Lord you
in your great mercy have bought my soul up from the grave and have not let my foes
rejoice over me. You have given me the tender gifts of salvation through your son Jesus.
You have graced me, you have been merciful to me and given me eternal life. You have
kept me alive so I would not go down to the pit.
4 I sing to you Lord. I sing praises to your glorious name. I tell the saints to sing unto
you and give thanks at the remembrance of your holiness.
5 For your anger endures but for a moment. Your favor is for life. My weeping may
endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.
7 Lord God, by your favor you have made my mountain to stand strong. You hid your
face and I was troubled.
8 I cried out to you Lord, and to you I made supplication.9 What profit is there when I
go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you O God? Shall it declare your truths?
10 You have heard me O lord. You have mercy upon me through Christ Jesus. You
alone have been and are my helper.
11 Father God, you have turned my mourning into dancing, you have put off my
sackcloth and girded me with gladness. I'm wrapped up in your joy. I'm wrapped up in
the joy, peace and divine love for me.
12 I shall sing praises to you and I shall not be silent. O God I will give thanks unto you
forever.
Tips: As you write out these healing scriptures linger upon every word and stroke of
your pen. Consider that our most Holy Father listens by way of Christ Jesus. Jesus has
given us access to the throne room of God because we have received him and believe
him to be our Lord, Son of God and Savior. Therefore we are God’s children and he is
always listening. Even so, he hears all. Created all and loves all. For God is love.
12
You have completed day five of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. You
have been sitting before the Lord for five days now. To God be the glory! May every
blessed word you write from God’s healing scriptures, saturate you very cells with
divine healing, joy of heart, and peace of mind.
I shall meet with you again on day six of The Healing Scriptures Depression Workbook
Journal style/scripture writing program. As you go about your day know That my
prayers are with you and for you.
13
DAY 6
H ealing scriptures from the word of God, are the creator's gift to you through Christ
Jesus. God's healing balm bottled up in healing scriptures, is soothing to the spirit
and medicine for soul and body. Capture negative thinking and break the chains of
depression, anxiety and stress with the healing scriptures. The Healing Scriptures
Workbook for Depression is a 45 day, journal style/scripture writing program. Welcome
to day six.
Healing scriptures from the world of God will bring negative thoughts into captivity.
Christ came to free us from all that would bind us. Depression, anxiety and stress are
no match for the sword of the spirit. Every single word that falls from the mouth of God
through Christ, is full to overflowing with power to restore and heal.
The healing scriptures from Genesis to Revelation will sweep through your blood stream
and soak the cells with God’s divine healing. Every word in the Bible has divine power
to heal you. Yet, praise is the exact and perfect remedy that will lift a heavy spirit.
God has commanded us to put on the garment of praise as mentioned in Isaiah 61.
God has assured us that praise will lift that spirit of heaviness. Depression, anxiety and
stress are all heavy emotions and spirits, that sit upon the spirit of God within us.
Healing scriptures of praise will slash a heavy spirit and send it packing. You can clear
the way for a divine joy and peace takeover. Let God’s healing scriptures of praise win
back your joy, and establish perfect peace in you.
The word of God will heal and bring inner peace, if we would but focus our minds on
scripture. What will God do for you if you allow your eyes, heart and understanding
to stay focused on scriptures? The answer is found in Isaiah 26:3. Let’s take a look at
God’s promise in these healing scriptures:
Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace. whose mind is stayed on thee.
Look at that! Can you see it now? God will keep your mind at peace if you focus on
him. The only way to train the mind to focus on God is to read, study, and meditate
upon God’s words. There is no other way. The Bible is not just a book of wonderful
sayings and smooth speeches. The Bible is God speaking directly to you.
The Bible is the closest we can come to God. If you truly seek God, he will be found
in his word. God gives you a promise. God says he will give you perfect peace if you
14
keep your mind focused upon him and his word. When you obey this command,
peace and joy are yours for the taking.
Welcome to day six of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. This journal
style/scripture writing program is a tool designed to help you focus your mind on God
through his word.
You have been writing out praise psalms for five days now. You have enjoyed God’s
word thus far as it flowed from your pen. Get ready for more peace and more joy. I’m
so happy you have come this far. Be patient with yourself and continue on today and
everyday hereafter. All seeds take time to bloom and produce.
You are writing out the divine. The psalms and healing scriptures will work in you day
by day. It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel different yet. Remember my friend, God is not
a liar. All his promises are true. God has said that he will give you peace if you focus
on him.
Remember to go back and read the scripture from the Bible that you have written. I
have given you scripture, in the first person, just as I write them out daily.
You and I are working together. I continue to write out the psalms of David and other
books of the Bible. This is a wonderful way to teach yourself God’s word. Plus you will
be doing what the scribes of old did, for the word of God was written first by hand.
Once you start writing out the word of God, you may never want to stop. Writing out
the word of God is a joyful endeavor. As you go along, you will find that God will
speak to you in ways you never imagined.
For now, let us begin with day six of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Grab your pen! Find that lovely, comfortable spot in your home and begin writing out
today’s healing scriptures. Enjoy yourself and know that God will meet you today in
his word.
Psalm 33
1 I rejoice in you Lord God. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for
the upright. It is a pleasure and my joy to praise you, heavenly father.
2 I praise you Lord upon a harp and sing unto you on an instrument of ten strings.3
Lord you put a new song in me. I sing this new song to you.4 Your word is right; and
everyone of your works are done in truth.5 You love righteousness and judgment: the
15
earth is full of your goodness dear Lord.6 By your word the heavens were made; and
all the host of them were made by the breath of your mouth.
7 Precious father, you gather the waters of the sea together as a heap; you lay up the
deep in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear you almighty God; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in
awe of you. Your works are awesome and worthy to be praised.24
9 You spoke and it was done, you commanded and it stood fast. I praise your holy
name and worship you, O great God, I love and honor you. You are my God through
Jesus Christ. Yes you O God are my father. I worship and adore you!
You have completed day six. You have met God today. Your appointment with God as
you wrote down the healing scriptures will manifest joy for you today. You will have
something good happen to you.
But wait! Something good happens to you every single day of your life. The Lord God
opens your eyes and a new day welcomes you. The sun floods your being, the skies
reach down to you because God has blessed you with a fresh new day.
I shall meet you again on day seven of The Healing Scriptures for Depression Workbook.
Please share your writing journey with me below. I’d love to hear from you. Take care
and praise God until we meet again tomorrow.
16
DAY 7
H ealing Scriptures from the word of God are like holy pills, from God's medicine
cabinet. Healing scriptures have the power to help you recover from depression,
stress, anxiety and any other ailment devils throw your way. Why not add God's
healing scriptures to your health and wellness program? Capture negative thinking
with God's healing scriptures. Cast off the garments of worry, anxiety and depression.
Put on the garments of praise and experience divine peace and joy. This is day seven
of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression Workbook.
Healing scriptures are God’s medicine for every single affliction the devil dare send to
harass your soul, body, mind and spirit. The mind can become the devils playground,
when we allow negative thinking to take control. The peace of God that surpasses all
understanding, should dwell within you, as a child of God.(Philippians 4:6,7)
The bud of the rose opens slowly to full bloom. When something or someone tears off
the petals, the bud is destroyed. Yet God had plans for the bud. God planned for the
rose bud to emerge in all it glorious beauty in due time.
The healing scriptures of God will work for you in time. Your patience and dedication
to writing out God’s healing scriptures will bear, in you, blooms of peace, joy and
contentment.
Meditation on God’s word, study of the word and obedience to the word will regenerate
you in every area of your life. The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression, is a
tool you can use to help you focus on God’s word.
God gave me this journal style/ scripture writing program to me. I am sharing it with
you. The program will bless your life as it did mine.
Just like the rose bud, God has a sure plan for your life. God’s plan for your life includes
peace of mind and joy of heart. How can you gain and maintain the peace of God? The
answer is found in Isaiah 26:3 which states:
Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth
in thee.
Do you see? Isn’t it amazing? God has given us a prescription for mental healing. The
scripture above has given us a promise. If we will keep our minds on the things of God,
he assures us we shall have perfect peace.
17
The only way to keep the mind focused on the things of God, is to focus, read, study,
meditate and obey God’s word found in the divine word of God. The Bible is made of
divine substance.
This is why you can’t expect to know or be healed just by sitting in a church service
once a week. This is why you can not gain the things of God just from listening to a
pastors preaching. God’s healing scriptures must become the substance of your own
spirit.
You must do more than receive second hand information. Our pastors spend quality
time with God. Yet, each and every child of God must spend quality time with the
Father. Know God for yourself! Develop a personal relationship with God separate
from the teachings of Church. Verify all teachings and verify the personality of God for
yourself.
Let God’s healing scriptures flood and bathe your cells with healing from on high. Let
God’s medicine contained in his word flow into your own bloodstream. When doctors
give you a cure. they want you to ingest it yourself. You must ingest the word of God
for yourself, if you want peace of mind and total joy to fill up your body.
Welcome to day seven of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. This 45
day journal style/scripture writing program is designed to help you etch the word of
God upon your own spirit. You have reached the 7th day.
To God be the glory! My heart sings for you! I’m so glad to know you have come this
far. Continue on with no hesitation. Don’t miss a day! Let God know you are making
him first in your life. Be patient and remember my little rose bud, a flower bud will
bloom as God planned in due time.
Go now to your favorite spot. Grab your pen and your journal, for you shall begin
today’s praise writing exercise for the lifting of your spirits. Today’s writing exercise
healing scriptures are found in Psalm 33, verses 11-22.
Psalm 33
11 My Lord God and Savior I praise your holy name. Your counsel and your guidance
stands forever, the thoughts of your heart, O God stand forever to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is you Lord. Blessed are the people you choose as
your own inheritance.
18
13 Blessed and glorious almighty father, you look down from heaven and behold all
the sons of men. You look down from heaven and see me. You O Lord, look down from
heaven and see us all.
14 From your place of habitation, you look down upon the inhabitants of the earth.15
Heavenly father you fashion their hearts alike, and you consider all our works.16 Kings
are not saved by a multitude of hosts: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for safety: A horse can not deliver anyone by it's great strength.
18 Precious and almighty father, your eyes are upon them that fear you. Your eyes is on
those that hope in your tender mercies.
19. I hope in your mercy to deliver my soul from death and to keep me alive in famine.20
Our soul waits for you O Lord: my soul waits for you Lord. You are my help and my
shield.
21 My heart rejoices in you because I have trusted in your holy name.22. Heavenly
father, let thy mercy be upon me, according to my trust in your name. I praise you
name O Lord for you gave us Christ and in him, salvation is ours and so is eternal life.
You have just completed day seven of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Let the sweet aroma of God’s word, be present in you today and everyday hereafter.
May the word of God rise up in your spirit and minister to you today. May God’s divine
healing scriptures and praises, which you have written down in your journal, flood you
with peace, love, happiness and unspeakable joy.
I shall return to you on day eight. Please share your thought below if you care to. I
would be honored if you would share your writing journey with me. Share anything
you like. My ears are open to your inquiries.
Peace, love and Godspeed!
19
DAY 8
H ealing scriptures from God's word will bring healing, peace, joy and wholeness.
Healing scriptures will settle the thoughts, creating a sweet stillness of spirit and
confidence in God. If you suffer from depression, anxiety or stress, let God's healing
scriptures deliver you from emotional bondage. This is day eight of The Healing
Scriptures Workbook for Depression. This 21 day journal style/scripture writing program
is designed to capture your thoughts, releasing them into the realm of divine joy.
Healing scriptures from the word of God have the power to re-order the thoughts and
still the mind. Depression, anxiety and stress can overtake the mind causing confusion
and inner turmoil. But God is not the author of confusion.(I Corinthians 14:33a)
God did not ordain Christ's death on the cross, so that the devil could harass you with
worry and stress. Worry, stress, depression and anxiety are ungodly spirits come to
steal your joy.
If you were convinced that you had a choice, you would choose peace of mind over
thoughts in turmoil. God has ordained peace for you. God wants you to rest in him,
have faith in him and rest in his promises.
Gods healing scriptures grace every single page of the Bible. Yet, healing scriptures of
praise to God, not only raise your faith but raise your levels of joy to new heights.
Be convinced that you do have a choice. You can choose peace and joy, instead of
sadness, depression stress or anxiety. God has a remedy for you, which I mentioned
before and will mention again. Isaiah 61:3 teaches us that the ‘ garment of praise ‘ will
lift a heavy spirit.
One wears a garment most of the day. The Lord is telling us that praise removes heavy
emotions that weigh us down. If we continue to sit about with worry and sadness, we
will remain in a state of unrest and thoughts in turmoil.
If we replace our thoughts with praise, negative emotions and reactions must flee.
Negative thoughts can’t co-exist with praises to God for his greatness. Healing scriptures
of praise, written down, will etch the word of God upon the palette of your soul, spirit,
mind and body.
Welcome to day eight of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. Welcome
back my friend! God in his infinite mercy has graced us with another day. The healing
scriptures of our ever loving father are yours to pen.
20
Grab your journal and your favorite writing instrument, and enjoy this days healing
scriptures writing exercise.
Psalm 46
1 O Lord God, you are my refuge and my strength, you are my very present help in
times of trouble.
2 Therefore I will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be
carried into the midst of the sea. I shall not be moved for I trust in you Lord.
3. Though the waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains shake with swelling.
I shall not be moved or fear because I trust in you almighty God and Savior.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holy place of the
tabernacles of the most high. I glorify your name O Lord.
5 O God, dear God, I know your in the midst of this river, and she shall not be moved:
God shall help her early. Lord you are my helper too and my troubles shall not overflow
me.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: you uttered your voice, the earth
melted.7 Lord of hosts you are with us and you are with me. O God of Jacob, you are
my refuge.
8. I behold your works, what desolations you have made in the earth, O one true God.9
Lord you make wars to cease unto the earth.10 O great God of power and might, you
make wars to cease to the end of the earth; you breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear
in sunder; you burn the chariot in the fire.
11 I shall be still and know that you are God. I know that you shall be exalted in the
earth. O Great Lord of hosts, O God of Jacob, you are my refuge.
You have completed day eight of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
God’s healing scriptures have entered your spirit once again. Be assured and know that
the word of God never fails to bring results.
God said that his word does not return to him void. (Isaiah 55:10,11)Attend to your
day in peace and expectancy for the healing scriptures are at work in you today and
everyday hereafter.
21
My friend, this psalm writing journey has already propelled you to new heights of joy,
peace, contentment and freedom depression. In parting I leave you with the following,
healing scripture promise from the father:
Isaiah 55:10,11
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but
watereth the earth, and makes it bring forth bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and
bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: It SHALL NOT
return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the
thing whereto I sent it.
Note: Special thanks to Lady Elena for the inclusion of the above scripture.
22
DAY 9
H ealing Scriptures from the word of God will heal you. The word of God is quick
and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, as stated in Hebrews 4:12.
Healing scriptures from the word of God will slash and cut away every single depressive
thought or emotional upheaval within you. Worry, stress and anxiety are no match for
God's healing scriptures. You are about to begin day nine of The Healing Scriptures
Healing scriptures from the Bible are seeped in power from on high. The word of God
is not a wonderful book of stories and sayings. The Bible is not a book to speed read,
take notes and call it a day. The Bible is not a novel or an adventure story.
The Bible is the exact word of God, inspired upon men by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is
no ordinary book. The Bible is a divine book of holy substance
Healing scriptures from the Bible will operate on your bodies systems and cut away
negative thinking. The word of God is like a divine scalpel. The word of God is sharper
than any two-edged sword. It can divide your joints from marrow, your soul from your
spirit.(Hebrews 4:12)
God’s word can and will perform it’s divine operati on, and cut away every shred of
depression, worry and stress.
You are the one who must make yourself available for healing. God’s healing scriptures
have to be ingested by you. The medicine of the word of God, by way of healing
scriptures is put before you, as a doctor puts medicine upon a spoon. Will you drink
the medicine of God?
God’s medicine needs to be taken until you meet Jesus face to face. The healing
scriptures are not meant to be a once in a lifetime dose. Didn’t Jesus say: if you continue
in my word, you are my disciples indeed? (John 8:31)
You must continue in God’s word daily. How much of God’s spirit do you want in
you? Ten minutes a day? Fifteen minutes a day? Once a week? Only on Sunday?
The Pastor may lay his hands on you for healing. That is well and blessed. Yet, you are
the one that must go home and dedicate yourself to diligent study and meditation on
the word of God.
23
If your spending only 10-20 minutes a day on scripture study, meditation and attention
to healing scriptures, what then?
Is 15 minutes of the divine nature of God good enough for you? What will 15 minutes
accomplish, when the world may bombard you with negativity and stressful situations.
Full yourself up to the brim with the word of God, by way of his healing scriptures.
Depression, anxiety, stress and depression can not and will not penetrate a force-
field of God’s spirit in you. How can you get God’s spirit, the Holy spirit, to take up
residence in you?
You must absorb, study, retain and meditate on the word of God. Church on Sunday
and a sermon won’t even put a drop of healing, in the bucket of your spirit. You need
more. You must get more and more of God’s word in you.
It is the express word of God that heals. My words can not heal you. The pastor’s words
can not heal you. What then can heal the mind and body? You know the answer.
Welcome to day nine of The Healing Scriptures for Depression Workbook. You have
come this far and the Psalms you have written at work in you. You may be spending
20-30 minutes a day writing out scripture. Be encouraged to increase your writing
time. You will be led to do so, if you have not been already.
You are doing a concentrated writing exercise, that will aid you in focusing on the
word of God. Sometimes depression, anxiety and stress can disrupt your concentration.
Writing will stabilize your thinking patterns. It will train the mind to be still. Be patient
my friend and keep it up!
Grab your pen and begin. Get to your favorite spot to commune with and praise the
Lord. Today’s writing out psalms exercise comes from Psalm 47.
Healing Scriptures # 9
Psalm 47
1 I clap my hands and shout to you O God, with the voice of triumph. O clap your
ands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2 For you O lord, are most high. For you O Lord are a great King over all the earth.
3 You shall subdue the people under me, and the nations under our feet.
4 You choose my inheritance for me, the excellency of Jacob whom you love.
5 O God you have gone up with a shout and you Lord, with the sound of a trumpet.

the shields of the earth belong to you O God, You are greatly exalted and I praise your
glorious name.

The Lord is praiseworthy and faithful. You have been healed of every single affliction
2000 years ago. The cross of Christ and his death and resurrection has long since set
you free.

a shadow of a doubt! See you once again on day 10. In the meantime, you are blessed

boxes below. Peace to you, love and Godspeed!
25
DAY 10
H ealing scriptures heal the mind and body. Every word and promise from the
mouth of God heals. Yet, praise healing scriptures are the precise remedy for a
heavy spirit, as mentioned in Isaiah 61. The garment of praise will lift a heavy spirit
of depression. Have you praised God today? This is day 10 of The Healing Scriptures
Healing scriptures grace the pages of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Every verse
of the Bible is a healing scripture. The word of God is truth, and the truth shall make
you free:
John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.
The word of God is truth and God’s truth will free you from depression, anxiety and
stress. God’s word and healing scriptures will bind up worry and anxiety. There will
be no room for these harassing spirits to exist in you.
It is God’s truth, through Christ that has freed us from a spirit of heaviness 2000 years
ago. 2000 years ago depression, stress and anxiety were nailed to the cross and crucified
with Christ.
Healing scriptures of praise are one of the weapons God has given you to lift your
spirits to new heights of joy. God has already given you this promise and directive in
Isaiah 61:3
Isaiah 61:3
(Jesus came to…) To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty
for ashes, the oil of joy, for mourning and the GARMENT OF PRAISE for the spirit of
heaviness.
Do you see this? Jesus has given you beauty for ashes. The ashes of your life from burnt
up dreams or unjust promises have been blown away. You have the oil of joy. The joy
of the Lord gives strength.
Yet, it is the GARMENT OF PRAISE that lifts a heavy spirit. God’s healing scriptures in
Isaiah 61:3 has given you an exact directive on how to handle, and get rid of heavy
spirits of stress, depression and anxiety.

DAY 10
My friend, faith without works is dead (James 3:17). The word of God takes work. To
attain the promises in healing scriptures, you will have to take action. God always calls
for us to do action steps.
Jesus Christ set us free from depression, stress and anxiety on the cross. In order to walk
healed and whole, takes action and work. God said that praise should be worn as a
garment, to lift a heavy spirit.
This is God’s action step to healing. We must praise God to great extent. This means
more than 15 minutes a day.
Praising God as if praise were a garment, means more than going to church on Sunday.
God does not live in buildings, God wants to build a house inside of you. Christ wants
to reside in you.
The kingdom of God does not thrive in a building. The kingdom of God thrives and
grows according to your attention to God’s word. Part of the mystery of the Kingdom
of God, is the fact that Christ wants to live inside of you. What was one of the things
Jesus said about this Kingdom of God? The answer is in Luke 17:21:
Luke 17:21
(Jesus said…) Neither shall they say to y ou, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold the
Kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU.
So you will not find the Kingdom of God in a building, on a train or on a plane, unless
you your self, are full of the word of God. You have to fill yourself up with God’s
healing scriptures. You have to fill yourself up with the word of God. This is how you
will build the kingdom of God in you. Healing scriptures and every single word that
falls from God’s mouth are made of divine substance.
The word of God in the Bible comes straight down to you from heaven. The word of
God is heavenly substance which will build God’s kingdom in you. The pastor can
not and never will build God’s kingdom in you. The church building and once a week
Sunday worship will never, ever, build the Kingdom of God in you.
Building the Kingdom of God in you and lifting a heavy spirit in you, will take scripture
study and diligence to seeking God in his word. Study and meditation on the word of
God much be more that 15 minutes a day. How much of God’s substance do you seek?
If you want the fullness and total substance of God’s presence in you, you will need
to do more. God calls you to do work, for faith without works is totally dead. You first
27
work, every single morning is to praise God, seek him in prayer, study the word, and
listen for his direction for the day.
None of the above can be done in a Church building alone. You have to take church
home to your house. Your house is to be a house of prayer and worship. Your house is
to be a house of laying on of hands and healing.
Bring the Pastors sermon home and apply it with scripture to your daily life. Healing
scriptures of God should be a part of your daily worship and family time.

DAY 11
H ealing scriptures from the word of God will, without a doubt, heal the mind soul
and body. Fill yourself to overflowing with heavenly substance. God's healing
scriptures will induce joy, peace and happiness within you. Add God's healing
scriptures to your health and wellness program. If you suffer from depression, stress
and anxiety, let God's healing scriptures replace anxious thoughts with thoughts of
peace, faith, hope and love. This is day 11 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for
Depression, scripture writing program.
Healing scriptures of the Bible include every single word and line of scripture printed
on it’s most holy pages. Specific healing scriptures of praise, assure you of God’s
promises to heal as well as his awesome power.
You must remind yourself daily of God’s power and who you are in Christ. If you don’t,
it will be easy for your mind to wander off into a waste land of worry, stress, anxiety
and depression.
If you don’t focus on praises to God, scripture study, prayer and obedience to God, it
will be easy for you to become more like those with no hope.
Many in the world struggle with lack of peace and all sorts of mental upsets. This
should not be the case for a person who has faith in God.
If you are convinced that God is on the throne and working out your difficult situations,
there is no need for you to experience heavy stress, depression and anxiety. How can
you be totally convinced that God is in control of your life?
The only way to be convinced of God’s power and ability to keep you from harm,
is to focus on the divine word of God. You must praise God daily and point out his
attributes to yourself.
You must remind yourself of the power of God rather than remind yourself of all that
is wrong with you and your life.
Welcome to day 10 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. These writing
exercises are comprised of healing scripture praise psalms. This writing workbook is
designed to help you focus on God’s power.
30
Rather than mull over what is going wrong, you must mull over the attributes of God.
Mull over and focus on God’s divine power by writing out praise psalms. This is a
wonderful way to etch the word of God into your spirit.
You have come this far. Don’t stop writing out the psalms. You should be enjoying
these writing exercises now. Stop, think and meditate over the words you have written
thus far.
If there’s something you don’t understand, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal it to you. Invite
God’s presence, by way of the Holy Spirit, to help and guide you into all truth.
Serious scripture study is not just for your pastor. Serious scripture study is for every
single child of God. Whatever ails or worries you, once defeated, that same affliction
will blossom into your ministry. You shall uplift others just like God uplifts you.
Let God heal you through his word, so that you might help and comfort another.Jesus
does not want you to sit in church pews all your life without a testimony you can use
to minister to others. There is plenty of work to be done for God’s kingdom. Every child
of God should be working in the vineyard.
When you study the word of God with diligence and obedience, your assignment and
ministry to others will come forth.
Let’s begin today’s writing out healing scriptures assignment. Grab your pen. Get to
that comfortable spot and begin to write. Today’s psalm writing exercise is Psalm 68.

Psalm 68
1 O God arise and let your enemies be shattered; let them that hate you flee before you.
2 As smoke is driven away drive away your enemies Father, as wax melts before the
fire, so let the wicked perish at your presence O God.
3 Let the righteous be glad. Let me be glad heavenly Father. I rejoice exceedingly in
you.
4 I sing unto you dear God, I sing praises to your holy name, I extol you O God, you
ride upon the heavens. I rejoice before you.
5 You are a father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows in your holy habitation.
6 O God you are mighty and set the solitary in families: you bring out those which are
bound with chains, but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
31
7 O God when you went before thy people, when you marched through the wilderness;
8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at your presence, even Sinai itself was
moved at your presence O God of Israel, you are my God through Christ.
9 You O God, sent a plentiful rain, whereby you did confirm your inheritance, when
it was weary.
10 Your congregation dwells therein, O God you have prepared of your goodness for
the poor. You have prepared goodness for me and I thank and praise you.
11You have given your word and great was the company of those who published it. I
love your word O Lord God almighty for in it is truth and salvation for all.
You have completed day 11 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. You
are focusing your mind on the praises of God. You are praising God by way of your
pen.
You are writing out scriptures just like the scribes of old. Expect healing and continual
restoration. Expect joy, peace and healing. The word of God never, ever fails.
I praise and thank God that you have come this far. Please grace me with a comment
and I’ll assist you, if need be, anyway I can.
Peace, love and Godspeed! My prayers are with you and for you.
32
DAY 12
H ealing scriptures will burst into the spirit shattering hopelessness and depression.
Healing scriptures from the word of God will shine brilliantly upon you, flooding
your heart, soul, mind, spirit and body with divine healing, peace and joy. Will you
bask in the sunshine and divine glow of God's healing scriptures today? Welcome to
The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression Day 12.
Healing scriptures from the word of God are pearls without price. I wish to encourage
you more and more today, for the priceless pearls of God’s word can not be bought
or sold.Once a price tag is placed directly on what is holy the divine is inhibited and
compromised. But praise God and amen! The divine wealth and hidden jewels of the
word of God are yours for the taking.
The gems and pearls of God’s healing scriptures are yours to harvest. Victory over
depression, stress and anxiety is yours, if you would but focus on healing scriptures of
praise. God has stated and let it be known in Isaiah 61 that the GARMENT OF PRAISE
will lift a spirit of heaviness.
Contemplate this scripture. Drink in it’s meaning. Meditate upon this simple truth and
remedy for the lifting of your spirit. Praise is powerful and will chase negative thoughts
away.
Yet, we can not just read this healing scripture promise and do nothing. If we do
nothing we are doomed. When God’s directives are not followed we can expect to
remain as we are. We will remain unchanged.
We must do more than ooooh! and aaaah! over the exquisite word of God. We must
do more that bask in it’s beautiful language and promise of divine healing. We must
do a work for faith without works is dead. (James 2:14)
If you are experiencing depression, stress and anxiety, don’t work to make these
negative emotions stronger by meditating on your problems. Work to create God’s joy
and peace in you.
Work on training your mind to remember that God is powerful and mighty. Work on
training your mind to praise God by way of his healing scriptures of praise. Writing out
praise psalms is a good work you can do to remind yourself of God’s power and hand
in your life.
33
God through Christ, holds you in his hands. No matter what you are going through,
peace, joy and contentment is yours, if you keep faith in God. Keep faith in God’s
ability to work out every problem in your life.
My friend, many have searched for happiness. Many do not know the key to happiness.
But we who trust and love God know exactly what that key is. The key to total and
complete happiness is TRUSTING GOD.
My friend, I have been writing out praise psalms for a few years. I’m telling you that
God’s word is right and exact. I went from being a bundle of nerves and worry to
experiencing a peace that surpasses all understanding. This miraculous peace I feel is
mentioned in Philippians 4:6,7. Let’s look at this scripture:
Philippians:4:6,7
Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication WITH
THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God,
which surpasses understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
So then, if we suffer from stress, depression, anxiety and worry, we must pray. Pray
about all things. We are to make our requests to God. Leave all troubles at his feet
and do so WITH THANKSGIVING. And what is thankfulness and gratitude to God but
praise and worship.
Praise and worship laces the pages of the Book of Psalms. For King David was a
worshipper and penned many praises to God in the healing scriptures of the psalms.
One morning as I was in early morning slumber and sleep. What seemed like an angel
came to me in my dream. A face bright as the sun shined upon me. All was glowing
light surrounding this face.
I heard a voice question me. Here is the angel’s question: ” Why are you happy”.
The glowing angel face drenched in sunshine then disappeared. I awoke feeling
overwhelming joy, and went immediately to the Book of Psalms to begin writing out
praise psalms in my journal.
The angel had questioned me and I found my answer and your answer in Psalm 34:4-
7. Let us look at Psalm 34:4-7.
Psalm 34:4-7
I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked
unto him, and were LIGHTENED their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried,
34
DAY 12
and the Lord heard him, and saved him from out of all his troubles. THE ANGEL of the
Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
After writing out this psalm I knew why this angel appeared in my dream to ask me
why I was happy. Why was I, a once poor woman suffering from depression happy in
the Lord? Here is the answer I wrote in my journal: I AM HAPPY BECAUSE I TRUST
IN GOD.
I trust in God. I sought God in prayer, he has heard me and delivered me from fear,
stress, anxiety and depression. I look to God’s shining face which sends rays of sunshine
and Joy into my life.
God has saved me from many troubles just has he has saved you. We will see God’s
face shining into our lives with hope, joy and healing if we glue our eyes to his word
and meditate upon praises to him. If we focus our minds on praising God for what he
has done, instead of what he has not done, we find great joy.
Wait on the Lord God patiently. Forget your troubles and experience happiness because
YOU TRUST IN HIM.
Yes my friend, the angel of great light and glowing sunshine appeared in my dream to
question me about why I was happy. I then confirmed that I AM HAPPY BECAUSE I
TRUST IN GOD. Trusting God will give you the peace that surpasses understanding.
Yet, you must remind yourself daily by focusing on healing scriptures of praise. In
Psalm 61 the psalmist vows to praise God forever. And in Isaiah 61:3 we know that the
GARMENT OF PRAISE is the remedy for a heavy spirit. God’s angels encamp about
those who fear him thus we have nothing to fear and nothing to worry about.
Yet, there is absolutely no way you can believe the healing scriptures promises and
praises, unless you meditate and study the word every single day. You must and you
have to delve into the word. You must and you have to PRAISE GOD daily and remind
yourself of HIS power.
It is easy to forget the power of God in your life. That’s why church on Sunday alone
will never ever be enough.
YOU must spend quality time with God every single day. Perhaps you shall break two
days to let the word of God digest in you but make prayer, praise and worship your
habit during the week. Do not miss a day. Do you wish to miss a day of God’s power
and direction for your life?
35
Welcome to day 12 of Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. You have come
this far and I praise the Lord God that you are on this scripture writing journey. Write
down praise psalms and you honor and praise God.
Write down praise psalms and you train your mind to think on god’s healing scriptures
of praise. These writing exercises will help you focus. Depression and anxiety can
overwhelm you thoughts but writing is a wonderful tool that will get the word etched
into your spirit.
God gave me this tool and I’m giving it to you. Today’s writing exercise healing scripture
of praise is Psalm 61. Grab your pen, go to your special place and begin to write.

Psalm 61
1 O Lord I know you hear my cries and attend to my prayers
2 From the ends of the earth I cry unto you when my heart is overwhelmed, when my
heart is overwhelmed: You lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 You O Lord God have been and are a shelter for me and a strong tower from my
enemy.
4 Father God I shall abide in your tabernacle for ever and ever. I shall praise and
worship you forever and ever. I will trust in the covert of your wings. Your wings cover
and keep me from all harm.
5 You O God have heard these vows I have made: You have given me the heritage of
those who fear thy name.
6 I know you shall prolong my life and my years as many generations. I trust in you.
7 I shall abide and trust you forever. Prepare your mercy and truth to preserve me.
8 So I shall sing praise to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my
vows. I vow to praise your holy name dear God, for ever you are so worthy to be
praised.
You have completed writing the healing scripture for today from the Book of Psalms.
The spirit of God is in you! You are healed! Yours is a house of peace and joy.
Keep focus on the word of God. Keep focused on writing down God’s praise psalms. It
is the word of God that heals, nothing else but the divine word of God heals.
36
Drink in the word of God daily with diligence. Do so with seriousness and intent of
heart. Spend as much time in the word of God comparable to your need. How much
of God’s divine healing do you desire.
How much of God’s spirit do you want to reside in you? Flood your spirit, mind, soul
and body with the word of God for transformation and complete restoration.
I shall meet with you again on Day 13. What are your thoughts? Please share your
writing journey. I’m am truly blessed when I hear from you. To God be the glory!
Peace, love and Godspeed! My prayers are with and for you. Praise the wonderful
name of Jesus who has transported us into the family of God.
37
DAY 13
H ealing scriptures from the throne-room of God will work to heal the mind of
depression stress and anxiety. Are you wearing the crown of peace that King Jesus
gave to you. Let God's healing scriptures anoint you with joy, peace and well springs
of contentment. This is day 13 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Healing scriptures from the word of God hail straight from the throne-room of heaven.
Christ, the King of peace wants to crown you with joy and contentment from on high.
The kingdom of God exists also in you.
If you are studying the word of God as a citizen from God’s kingdom, you shall
experience unshakable peace. If you suffer from depression stress and anxiety your
peace has not yet been activated.
How can you attain the peace of God? How can you eliminate stress, worry and
anxiety? Do you sit up late worrying about what might be? Do you sit up late ruminating
about the troubles at hand? Do you sit up late worrying about the problematic details
of your life?
Did you know the word of God says it is vain to rise up early, and sit up late being
sorrowful? Did you know that the Bible says that God gives us sleep because he loves
us? Yes, isn’t it amazing but appropriate for God to say so? Let’s look at Psalm 127 to
find out exactly what god means by this:
Psalm 127:2
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he
(God) giveth his beloved sleep.
Look at that? Do you understand now? We are vain and pompous to believe that
worrying all night will solve a problem. We are vain and full of self-importance if we
lose sleep because we are depressed and stressed out.
Why would God say such actions are vain? Our vanity lies in the fact that we believe
worry will solve a problem. We lose sleep because we believe that stress and fretting
will give us positive results.
If we truly believed that Gods angels were encamped about us, we’d sleep like babies
more often than not. If we truly trusted God with all we have within us, we’d worry
less and praise God more.
38
DAY 13
We’d hardly ever be depressed. We would be too full of faith to remain sad and
stressed. Yet, life is full of ups and downs. We will worry and we will have stress. We
will experience measures of depression. Nevertheless there is fullness of joy and peace
of mind for us in Christ Jesus regardless of the storms of life.
If we just trust God, the reward is increased joy, peace and contentment. Hear this
now! we can not trust a God we don’t know. How can we trust God, if we don’t know
exactly how God operates? How can we trust in God’s healing scriptures, if we don’t
know what those scriptures say?
How can we nix negative thinking with a promise from God, if we’re not aware of his
promises? How can we praise God for his awesome power and majesty if we don’t
know any praise psalms?
How will we be healed from depression and anxiety if we don’t know any healing
scriptures?
We need to study the word. We need to know how to find our way around the pages of
the Bible. Scriptures should be so familiar to us that we can quote scripture at the drop
of a hat. We should at least memorize scripture the holy spirit has impressed upon us.
If your a meditative student of the word, the holy spirit will give you scriptures that
pertain to your life and specific situations. Don’t let church be the only place you can
receive a word from God. Your pastor should not be the only one hearing from God.
Every single child of God can hear from the father.
You should be receiving a word and scripture from God when you arise in the morning.
When you go to bed at night. When your at work. When your at play. When your
driving.
When your at school. In other words you should always be hearing from God. Scriptures
should rise up in you. We have the word of God. The word and substance of Gods
divinity is found in the Bible. The healing scriptures of God are full of healing from
heaven.
If you are studying as you should you are hearing from God. Yet, God can even give
you a specific scripture or word that addresses you personally. The more you delve
into the word, the more you sharpen your spiritual ears.
We may not be able to memorize every single word and healing scripture of the Bible
but we should be well versed in scripture. If you are suffering from stress and depression
you shall find remedy in the word of God.
39
If you are sorrowful and having trouble sleeping, healing scriptures of praise will lift up
your spirits. God said it, I have reminded you before and shall remind you again. God
said in Isaiah 61 that the GARMENT OF PRAISE will lift a spirit of heaviness.
Depression, anxiety and stress are very heavy spirits that will sit on your chest at night
causing you to lose sleep. You need to praise God for his awesome powers and divine
abilities. Healing scriptures of praise from the Book of Psalms will help you do this.
Welcome to day 13 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. You are
writing down praise psalms in your journal. You are on a mission to etch the word of
God into your spirit. You are activating God’s peace, love and joy. You are focusing
on God’s power rather than your problems.
You are taking the crown of peace that King Jesus has given you and securing it upon
your head. Hold on to that crown by meditating on every verse you write.
You will attain the joy of the Lord, for the Psalms of David give countless reasons for
us to experience joy. Today’s writing exercise is Psalm 91. Grab your pen, journal and
proceed to your place to write.

Psalm 91
1. I dwell in your secret place, O most high God. I abide under the shadow of your
wings almighty God.
2. You Lord, are my refuge and my fortress: my God; in you I shall and do trust.
3. I know you shall surely deliver me from the snare of the fowler, and the noisome
pestilence. You protect and keep me from all harm.
4. You cover me with your feathers and under your wings I trust, your truth is my shield
and buckler.
5. I am not afraid or terrified. I am not afraid of the terror by night or the arrow that flies
by day.
6. I am not afraid of the pestilence that walks about in darkness; nor am I afraid of any
destruction that wasteth at noon-day. Father God I know that you protect me.
7. A thousand shall fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand but they shall not
come near me.
8. I shall behold and see the wicked with my eyes.
9. You are my refuge Lord, you O most high are my habitation. I abide in you.
40
10. No evil will befall me and no plague will come near my dwelling.
11. You shall give your angels charge over me to protect and keep me in all my ways.
12. The angels shall bear me up with their hands and prevent me from dashing my foot
against a stone.
13. I will step and tread on the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon I shall
trample under my feet.
14 I have set my love upon you Lord and you promised to deliver me. You promise to
set me high upon a rock because I have known thy name.
15 When I call I know you shall answer me and you assure me that you are with me in
trouble and will deliver and honor me.
16 I'm so very grateful to you Lord God. I am assured that you will satisfy me with long
life and show me your salvation. I than you Lord! I praise you Lord! I honor you and
praise your holy name.
You have completed day 13 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Maintain the crown of peace, given to you by Jesus Christ King of peace.
Hold on to divine joy by keeping steady focus on God’s healing scriptures. Don’t let
worry, strife, depression, stress or anxiety steal your crown of peace.
41
DAY 14
H ealing scriptures from the word of God are the most powerful weapons you have
to conquer and defeat depression, anxiety and stress. Let God’s word, which is the
sword of the spirit, slash away all your worries and give you the joy of the Lord God
and healing. This is day 14 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Healing scriptures are what you need for total restoration and peace from depression,
stress and anxiety. Forget your troubles and forget your cares. Let the word of God
assure you of God’s power to orchestrate your life according to his plan.
Let the healing scriptures in the Book of Psalms, cover your spirit with it’s sweet, warm
healing honey. Oh taste and see that the Lord God holds you in the palm of his hands!
Troubles will come and go but the promises of God are forever. Yes, heaven and earth
will pass away but God’s promises will not. The earth and its troubles will pass away
but the word God is permanent. All things will pass away but God is and always will
be.
Eternal God is bigger than your troubles. All mighty God is larger than life, he created
you and your life. Trust and be assured not one jot or title of your circumstance is
unknown to God.
Our troubles and difficulties are no surprise to God. God know how many hairs are
upon our heads. There is absolutely nothing hidden from the eyes of the Father. In this
life troubles come but God opens a way out of every affliction.
The word of God teaches us that troubles and afflictions are many, but God opens
a way for us to escape. Let’s look are God’s promise to u s concerning troubles and
afflictions in Psalm 34:19:
Psalm 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivereth him out of all.
Well, there you have it! The Lord absolutely deliver you from ALL affliction. In the
meantime, while we wait for God’s sure deliverance we are to worship him. Worship
and praise are proof of our faith.
The road may be dark and answers afar off. One thing we do know, the Lord will
attend to every problem and issue we face.
42
DAY 14
As we continue focusing on God’s healing scriptures of praise, we should be content
knowing that God’s solution has already been found. It will be just a matter of time and
God never sleeps. As we continue in prayer, worship, scripture study and obedience
God’s answer is soon to come.
His answer may seem long in coming. Having to wait upon God’s answer may mean
you’re called to examine your life and make a change. God’s answer may involve
waiting till something else is in place
You may need to repent of sin or do a step from God you’ve neglected. Whatever
the case, waiting will be for your own good. God’s main concern is your salvation.
Nevertheless God answers prayer. Sometimes we wish to rush the bearing of fruit but
a seed brings forth fruit in God’s time.
So then, while we wait and though we may suffer affliction, God is still to be praised.
Never should we allow the troubles of this life to over flow us.
We must flood our thought life with praise rather than complaints. Writing down
healing scriptures of praise is a good way to steady the mind and focus the thoughts.
Sometimes we allow our thoughts to be as a run away train. Writing down praises to
God forces us to concentrate on God’s awesome power. Whatever we can use as a
tool to reel in the mind so that we can focus on God’s power will surely bless us.
Welcome to day 14 of The Healing Scriptures for Depression Workbook, as you now
know, the GARMENT OF PRAISE lifts a spirit of heaviness. We know this is true for

DAY 15
H ealing scriptures promise God's healing. Healing scriptures heal the mind, soul,
spirit, and body. How do we know this? We know because God is not a liar. It
is impossible for God to lie. If your a person of faith and diligent scripture study your
well aware of Gods truth. His actions shall not mystify or confuse you. If your suffering
from depression, stress and anxiety, you can conquer these negative emotions if you
have faith in the Healing scriptures of God. Nevertheless, God is love and wishes all
men to be saved and healed. Welcome to day 15 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook
for Depression.
Healing scriptures from the word of God have no power unless you know what they
are, where they are and what they say. Plus, we need to apply God’s healing scriptures
to our lives.
The Lord’s fruits and vegetables are good and healthy for the body but we must eat of
this nutritious fare. Bread is filling and good for strength and nutrition. Yet, what good
is bread we don’t eat!
Jesus teaches us in John 6:51 of the importance of ingesting the word of God. Let’s look
at what our Lord said:
John: 6:51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he
shall live forever: and the bread that I give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of
the world.
So then Jesus is the bread of life. We eat of this bread when we ingest and meditate
upon the word of God. How can that be? What does that mean? The answer is found
in John 1:14. Let’s look at John 1:14:
John 1:14
And the word of God was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as the only begotten of the father,) full of grace and truth.
Jesus is the word of God come to earth in the flesh. The word and teachings of Christ
are recorded in the Bible. So then Christ’s divine words were bread, are bread and are
here for us to eat.
45
But the word of Christ is no ordinary bread. When we feast on the bread of life bread
by way of scripture meditation, we are eating food from heaven.
There is more to understanding the word made flesh and the divine bread that is Christ.
One thing to focus on, is the fact that God’s word and healing scriptures can not be
ignored and cast off.
We will never get all God has for us by neglecting scripture study. We will never attain
the healing we seek if we neglect this most important step. Your daily meal plan must
include ingesting the bread of life.
If your ingesting the bread of sorrow your spirit starves. If your ingesting the bread
of worry and anxiety your spirit starves. Negative words, worries, emotional upsets,
anger, remorse, stress, these things are as tainted and rancid bread.
We must not ingest negative thoughts and emotions. When we focus on all these
negatives they feed the body with a spirit of doom, death and destruction. What hope or
joy can we have if we fill our bodies with the rancid bread of worry, stress, depression
and anxiety?
Let us eat the bread of life and live whole and healed. Let us focus on the bread given
to us by Christ in his word. Let us make our blessed meals using the bread of every
single word from God. The word of God is your most important meal for the day.
Every word that falls from the mouth of God, from Genesis to Revelations, is divine
bread of which we should be feasting on daily.
Welcome to day 15 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. Are you
ready to eat the bread of life come down from heaven?
Grab your pen. Find your pen and begin today’s psalm writing exercise. Remember the
psalms from God’s healing scriptures have been personalized in each verse. Be sure
and read the psalm out loud from the Bible text when you are finish writing. Today’s
healing scripture is Psalm 67.

Psalm 67
1 O Lord you merciful to me and you bless me. You also make your face to shine upon
me.
46
2 You make your face to shine upon us that thy way may be known upon the earth, thy
saving health among all nations.
3 Let the people praise thee, let all the people praise thee. I praise you O God, I praise
your holy name.
4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously,
and govern the nations upon the earth. I sing for joy and am so glad that you my God,
you alone I serve.
5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. I
know you shall bless me O God, You are my own God.
7 Dear God, you shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear you. I praise your
holy name.
You have completed day 15 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. I’m
happy to know you are continuing along. May the bread of life, which is the word of
God, settle in your stomach releasing it’s many blessings.
Please feel free to share your scripture writing journey below. My prayers are with you
and for you. Peace, love and Godspeed!
47
DAY 16
H ealing scriptures will heal every emotional wound and relieve you from depression,
stress and anxiety. Christ's death and resurrection has already healed you and
you are free. The son of God, Christ Jesus has destroyed every evil plan of the devil
to destroy your life. Be of good courage and wait upon the Lord. No problem or trial
is too great for the risen Savior. Welcome to day 16 of The Healing Workbook for
Depression.
Healing scriptures testify of God’s power. Every word that falls from the mouth of God
will bring healing. Not only that, Christ’s death and resurrection brought us complete
healing and reedemption. We are free! Christ has made us free from all affliction. Let
us look at John 8:36:
John 8:36
If the son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.Christ is no longer on the cross.
He is risen! If you focus on the death and suffering of Christ, do so because you're
determined to bear you own cross of suffering, convinced that God will lift you up and
out of it.
If we compare our own sufferings to the intensity and agony of Christ’s crucifixion, we
fall short. If we compare our own sufferings to the sufferings of some of the Apostles
who were beheaded and tortured , we fall short.
Let’s look at what God’s healing scriptures advice us to think on through various
sufferings and trials. Let’s look at Hebrews 12:2,3:
Hebrews 12:2,3
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of
the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against
himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Christ despised shame. He was not ashamed of the rebuke and shame he received from
those who hated him. Christ was not stressed out. Christ was not worried or depressed.
Jesus Christ trusted God totally. He knew that divine joy would be his reward and ours.
Glorification came as a result off his obedience to endure suffering.
48
DAY 16
Sinners railed against Christ with stoning, disrespect, ridicule, spitting and all manner
of affronts. Sinners contradicted and lied about Christ to no end. Christ had troubles
and trials beyond what we could ever imagine.
Yet, he endured even the agony of the cross with obedience, knowing that God would
lift him up from that cross to Glory. And where is Christ now? Jesus Christ sits at the
right hand of God the father. Christ wants also to make his home in us.
Since God has raised Christ from the very dead, and if we truly believe it, we can know
for a surety that no problem is too severe for God. Christ has conquered and destroyed
the works of Satan. It’s a done deal!
No matter what you are facing. Depression, stress or otherwise. These afflictions are
no match for the power of God, through Christ. The same power that lifted Jesus from
the cross WILL LIFT YOU UP.
God’s healing scriptures gave us a promise. The word of God promises that the same
power that lifted Jesus from the cross will lift us up. Let’s look at 1 Corinthians3:14:
1 Corinthians 3:14
And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.
While we wait for God’s sure deliverance from trials and tribulations, we must do all
we can to stir up our faith. Don’t stir up stress and anxiety, stir up your confidence in
God and remember you have been snatched out of the grave.
Your life is now eternal. My life is now eternal. We should be whooping and hollering!
We will see God’s face and walk the streets of heaven. Can I get an amen and echoing
alleluia?
Welcome to day 16 of The Healing Scriptures for Depression. This praise writing
workbook is a tool that will help you focus on praise psalms.
Writing down the psalms in the style of the scribes of old, will help you focus on
praising God. Praise raises faith and lifts a heavy spirit.
If depression, stress and anxiety are make it difficult for you to focus, use this program
as a help.
I’m glad to know you are continuing. Keep moving on and enjoying every praise psalm
you write. I declare you shall by faith! Today’s writing exercise is Psalm 72.
49
Psalm 72
2 O Lord God, you judge your people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.3
The mountains shall bring peace to the people and the little hills by righteousness. I am
at peace and joyful in Christ.
4 You shall judge the poor of the people, You shall save the children of the needy, and
shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.6
Lord, you shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the
earth.
7 In your day shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace, so long as the moon
endureth.
8 You shall have dominion also from sea to sea my Lord, and from the river to the ends
of the earth.
9. They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before you; and your enemies shall lick
the dust.
18. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.19 And blessed
be his glorious name forever: let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Father God,
let the whole earth be filled with your glory. Amen and Amen!
are healed and there is no doubt about that.
Walk in the glory of the Lord and seek his direction and listen for the voice of the Holy
Spirit. For the Holy Spirit will lead you to the truth of your own situation.
We shall gather again on Day 17. Until then Peace, love and Godspeed! My prayers
are with you and for you.
50
DAY 17
H ealing scriptures are the divinely seasoned word of God. They are food for the
spirit. Healing scriptures fall upon the tongue and are delicious to the soul, body
and spirit. Taste and linger on the flavor of the healing scriptures. If you’ve been eating
the bread of sorrow, stress and depression, it’s time to change your diet. The bread of
healing is yours today! Welcome to day 17 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for
Depression.
Healing scriptures from the word of God should be your focus if your suffering from
depression, anxiety and stress. The Bible contains every single word that comes from
the mouth of God to men by way of the Holy Spirit. Every word and scripture of the
Bible brings healing because God’s word is truth, all truth and more and more truth.
God’s word is truth upon truth. In it, you shall be bathed in a wellspring of divine truth.
When you know the truth of all things and accept Christ you are free.! the meaning of
life is solved. God has revealed the meaning of life and instructions for living to you.
Therefore, God’s truth should settle your thoughts and emotions. Therefore, God’s
truth should calm you down. Therefore God’s truth should cheer you up. Therefore
God’s truth should fill you with a joy you can not even explain.
My dear friend, there should be a song in your heart and a spring in your step. You are
a child of God. You are a child of he who created all, Alleluia! and knows all. Praise
be to God! Almighty God is your father and mine. Praise his holy name!
Therefore, God’s healing scriptures, once activated by faith and your meditation upon
God’s words, will bring complete healing, restoration and deliverance.
Even so, whether we live this physical life or whether God takes us home, once you
have eternal life, healing is reality for you. How much more can we be healed? We are
so healed in body, that we shall never die but live on in Heaven. We are so healed,
that death is not our end but a new beginning. The faithless worry about death and
dying. But not you! Alleluia! Not you!
Child of God, listen and be comforted, there is nothing that God can not do. For he
is God, he is God, he is God. Almighty creator of the universe, his hand shaped it all.
Have no fear, be not dismayed, nor stressed or depressed. Your father knows every
detail of your life, for God ordained your steps before you were born. He knew about
you when you lay in your Mom-ma’s womb. O yes! be not stressed.
51
Let’s feast our eyes upon this fact in the healing scriptures embedded in Psalm
139:13,15,:
Psalm 139:13, 15
For thou (God) has possessed my reins: you have covered me IN MY MOTHERS WOMB.
My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret…
So then, my dear, God knew you in the womb and knows every single thing about you.
Have no fear trust and praise God. God is working out every detail of your life. Take
hold and praise the Lord. Yes! Praise him. Praise Almighty God!
Welcome to day 17 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. Welcome
back to these writing exercises. This workbook gives you a tool which helps you focus
on the God who created and developed you in the womb. You are writing out praise
psalms just like the scribes of old.
Today’s Psalm writing exercise is taken from Psalm 139…

Psalm 139
1 O precious Lord, you have searched me, and known me.
2 You know my downsitting and my uprising, you understand my thoughts from afar
off.
3 You O Lord God, compass-est my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with
all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue that you don‘t know about.
5 You have beset me behind and before, and your hand is upon.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I can not attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are
there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
52
12 Yea, the darkness can not hide from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness
and the light are both alike to you.
13 O great and mighty God, you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my
mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: and that my soul knows
right well.
15 My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously
wrought in the lowest part of the earth.
16 Heavenly father, your eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy
book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet
there were none of them.
O Lord, my God and my eternal savior, all my hope is in you. You are working out
every single detail of my life. I'm assured of it and I love you!
and I have gathered at the well of God’s word and are totally refreshed and healed.
Amen, Amen and Aaaaaaaamen!
See you on day 18. Until then my precious friend, Peace, love and Godspeed! If you
will and if you please, do leave a comment and share your praise writing, healing
scriptures journey. Shalom!
53
DAY 18
H ealing Scriptures! Immerse yourself in them for healing and restoration. Bathe
in the divine pool of God's healing scriptures and promises. If your suffering
from anxiety, stress and depression you need to wade in the waters of God's healing
scriptures. Welcome to day 18 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Healing scriptures from the word of God will lift your spirits to higher ground. Do you
truly understand what the word of God is? This word that God has put together is other
worldly, totally divine in nature.
Imagine heaven translated into word. Imagine God himself writing with a pen
illuminated with healing sunshine. God is in his word. God is his word come down to
earth. The Bible was inspired by the King of all kings.
The Bible is a map for your life. What else can be said of the word of God. What does
God’s word say about itself? How does God describe his own word? Let us look at
Hebrews 4:12:
Hebrews 4:12 ” For the word of God is quick, and po werful, and sharper than any two
edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of joints and
marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
There are many books in existence today but the word of God is no mere book. It
is divinely inspired. God’s healing scriptures are specific. Yet every single word and
promise of God, will set you in motion, to receive all God’s promises from the king to
his royal family.
Let it be known unto you, the word of God, as mentioned in Hebrews 4:12 will perform
a divine operation on you. In the spirit, God’s invisible hands enter and touch you in
your body as you focus and meditate upon his word.
Not one single doctor on earth can make such a claim! Embrace and meditate upon
God’s healing scriptures.
Hold fast to your crown of glory. Embrace your royal station. Leave off stress, depression
and anxiety. These weights are not fitting for those whose Father has left them an
incredibly rich inheritance, in the form of an exhaustive trust fund.
54
You may draw from the trust fund of God anytime you wish. The Bible is our own
spiritual bank. Whatever your need is God means to supply. The word of God is also
our deed of inheritance for supplying both spiritual and physical needs.
Believe God! Believe and trust the Lord who desires to bless you with peace. Will you
allow him? For God can not give you what you do not desire. Peace, freedom from
stress, depression and anxiety are some of the fruits of God’s divine word and promise.
Trust God! Every word of God is pure and powerful. The healing scriptures of God,
once stamped upon your spirit will shield you from unbalanced emotions. Let us look
at what the word of God says in Proverbs 30:5:
Proverbs 30:5
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Yes and amen! If your suffering from depression, stress and anxiety you need God’s
shield to block out those heavy spirits. Examine you own life and be sure you are in
obedience to the word of God.
Promises and gifts from God come forth unhindered, when we listen and follow what
the Father has commanded. Praise God! Obey God! Take hold of the promises due.
Welcome to day three of 18 of The Healing Scriptures for Depression Workbook. My
friend this is the most important component of your journey to healing and wholeness.
You are writing out the healing scriptures of God. You are focusing on Praise psalms.
You are worshipping God by doing these writing exercises.
Sometimes it is difficult to focus on God’s glory when the fierce storms of life flood
and disrupt the thoughts. I give you a remedy. Keep a journal and write down selected
praise psalms from the Book of Psalms. Embrace and pen God’s healing scriptures.
Do these exercises daily. Even more do these psalm writing exercises when you are
tempted to worry and fret. Stop depression in it’s tracks today. Even now!
Grab your pen and your journal. Find that sweet quiet spot where you meet with God
through Christ.
Today’s writing exercise is Psalm 65.

1 Praise waits for you O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed:
55
2 O thou that hearest prayer unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for my transgressions, you dear God, purge them
away.
4 Blessed is the man whom you choose, and cause to approach thee, that he may
dwell in thy courts: I shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy
temple.
5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of my salvation; who
art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 Which by your strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 (O great God of mercy and might) you stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of the
waves and the tumult of the people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens, you O Lord, make
the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.75
9 You visit the earth and water it: you greatly enrich it with the river of God, which is
full of water: when you have so provided for it,
10 O great God…You water the ridges abundantly, you settle the furrows, you make
it soft with showers: you bless the spring thereof.
11 Father God…You crown the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness.I
praise your glorious name O God, you perform many wonders for all the world to see.
You have completed day 18 of The Healing Scriptures for Depression Workbook. It is
our glorious God and merciful Father who heals. May God’s healing scriptures and
promises, settle in your heart and spring forth in your thoughts when most needed.
See you, yet again on day 19. Until then my friend, praise God and be healed.
Aaaaaamen!
If you will and if you please, share your journey and thoughts in the comment box
below.
56
DAY 19
H ealing scriptures are more than just words on a page or pleasant sayings. Healing
scriptures are the divine and sacred words of God. Tap into God's healing power
source, by way of the healing scriptures of the Bible. Many Gods claim fame in this
perishing world, where life is but a breath. But none of these Gods can begin or end a
life. It is the one true God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and you, who raised Christ from
the dead that will heal you. Welcome to day 19 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook
for Depression.
Healing scriptures are specific in nature, for God does promise to heal us. Healing
scriptures such as Isaiah 53:5 assure us that Jesus Christ heals. Let’s look at Isaiah 53:5:
Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him; and by his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5 is an example of specific healing scriptures. Yet, every word of the divine
word of God is sacred and heals, restores, redeems, corrects, and give us directions for
living a Godly life.
This is the reason why I proclaim that every word of God brings healing and so much
more.
I would be wrong, if I said that every single person in Christ gets healed from every
disease, for some do not. But we know for a surety that God heals us so much in body,
that whether we live or die, we have total healing.
Total healing and eternal life go hand in hand. Divine healing reaches a pinnacle with
the promise of eternal life. Surely a body that never dies is a healed body.
I don’t know why some may be healed of serious illness and others are not. For God
knows the reasons for all things. I can not judge.
One thing I do know for a fact the word of God definitely and without a shadow of a
doubt brings restoration and healing to the mind, soul and body. Depression, stress
and anxiety of the mind are no match for the mind of God. Each person must diligently
seek God on matters of healing.
57
Once you get God’s thoughts to overshadow your own. Peace of mind, joy and
contentment are the results. I can testify to this, as the world had given up on me. The
world said I would be depressed all my life and there was no cure.
The world said I would need to take depression medication all my life and I would do
well to except this. Well, my sisters and brothers, a mood disorder can and will heal.
You can have the mind of God instead of a mind of stress, anxiety, depression and
worry.
How did my healing come? I followed the Lord’s instruction in the healing scriptures
of Isaiah 61:3. Let us look at Isaiah 61:3 yet again:
Isaiah 61:3
(Jesus came to)…..Appoint unto them tha t mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for morning, the GARMENT OF PRAISE for the SPIRIT OF Heaviness; that
they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be
glorified.
The answer to healing from a SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS, depressions, stress and anxiety is
that we PRAISE GOD, we are to put on a GARMENT OF PRAISE. Praising God is what
healed me from depression. Negative thoughts can NOT thrive in minds and hearts
filled with praises to God.
I started my praising, by writing out the healing scriptures of the Book of Psalms. I
picked out all the psalms that focus on just praising God.
The Lord God showed me this way because depression made it hard for me to focus.
Writing helps the mind not only to focus but to remember.78
What we need to remember most is that God’s power is the only power that exists. It
is almighty God who created both mind and body. He is the one to seek on matters of
healing. The brain in your head was fashioned by God’s hands.
Scientists are still baffled by how the brain works. They will stay in the dark but you are
in the light. The world says that we should focus on what is good.
The world says we should focus on the blessings that the universal mind brings us. The
world says we should thank mother nature or we should thank the ”great mystery ”.
Even the world know we should be thankful. What the world outside does not know
is who God is.
58
The world does not know Yahweh. The word does not know Jehovah Jirah, our provider.
But you do, for you are his child. You know of God’s awesome power and know his
healing scripture promises.
Focus on God and His power. Get the word of God in your spirit. Sing, write, meditate
on praising God. As you remind yourself of God’s power your faith grows and grows
and grows.
Welcome to day 19 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. You are
writing out the Psalms of David. You are writing out the praise psalms that worship
God. Focus, write, mediate on each verse.
Remember that I have written out the healing scriptures in the first person. Be sure to
go back and read the selected psalm out loud. It is the word of God, however you can
ingest it. That will heal you. Speak them out loud, sing them, write them.
Grab your pen, go to that comfortable spot, begin writing. Today’s healing scripture
writing exercise is Psalm 89.

Psalm 89
1 I will sing the mercies of the Lord forever: with my mouth will I make known thy
faithful-ness to all generations.
6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the
mighty can be likened unto you O Lord?
7 O God you are greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in
reverence of all them that are about you.
8 O Lord of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about
thee?
9 You rule the waves of the sea, when the waves arise you still them.
10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine
enemies with thy strong arm.
11 The Heavens are yours, the earth is yours, as for the world and all it's fullness, you
O God founded them.
16 In your name O Lord, I rejoice all day: and in your righteousness I am exalted.
59
You have just completed Day 19 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Love the Lord! Praise the Lord! Obey and honor God! Walk with Christ as closely as
you can, and experience wholeness and healing from mental torments. Have peace
and joy!
If you will and if you choose, please leave a word for me, in the comment box below.
What has God, through Christ, blessed you with today?
60
DAY 20
H ealing Scriptures of the Bible are God’s promises for healing, joy and abundant
life. If depression, stress and anxiety have broken into your inner house of peace
you’ve been robbed. Learn how to build a forcefield of faith around the temple of
your body. Arm yourself with the word of God! Welcome to day 20 of The Healing
Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Healing scriptures rest upon every page of the word of God. Every word God has sent
down to us is infused with divinity. Make no mistake, the scriptures give us the keys to
living a life more abundant.
What did our Lord Jesus say was the reason for his coming? We find the answer to
this most important question in John 10:10. Let’s look at what Jesus teaches us in the
healing scriptures of John 10:10:
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill and destroy: I am come that they might
have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
There it is! Now we know! Jesus came to give us the abundant life. There is a thief at
work in the word. This thief has a name. This thief is the devil and all his cohorts. How
is this? Why is this?
If your suffering from depression, stress and anxiety, your peace has been broken into.
The burdens and troubles of life have broken into your spirit, to rob you of the joy you
have in Christ. Lock the door to your spirit and secure your inner peace.
God has given you a lock from heaven that no thief can break. The devil is a lying thief
who loves to whisper negative thoughts in your ear.
Don’t listen! Don’t entertain negative thinking for prolonged periods. Secure your
station and place in Christ. Surround yourself with the force field of the impenetrable
word of God the father.
The devil roams about like a roaring lion, he wants to eat you up and devour your
every hope and joy in Christ. If he can get you to focus on your troubles instead of your
blessings he has won battle points in regards to you. What does the word of God teach
us? Which healing scripture of truth exposes the works of that ole’ dragon Lucifer?
61
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour.
Don’t let the devil and the world’s problems devour your joy and peace. Take control
of your thought life. Take control of your thoughts. Don’t listen to negative thoughts
playing over and over in your head like a broken record. Take full control of your
thought life.
Your thoughts belong to you. God has gifted you not only with the ability to think but
the ability to control what you think about. Think about it! Is there someone outside
of you, controlling your thoughts? Do your thoughts belong to someone other than
yourself?
The devil is on the prowl and would like you to think on everything negative and
unfruitful. Don’t fall into that trap. You take control! You must take action! You must
focus and believe God’s healing scriptures and take action!
Let’s look at one of God’s precious healing scriptu res of truth and guidance for
abundant living and joy in Philippians 4:8.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on
these things.
My friends there it is! Here in Phil 4:8 you find the keys to joy and happiness once
again. In Isaiah 61:3 we learn that the GARMENT OF PRAISE lifts a spirit of heaviness.
PRAISE to God raises the spirit to new heights.
What is praise to God for his greatness? Isn’t praise true, honest, just and pure? Praising
God, for his power is the best report one could give. Is there virtue in praising God?
Is there virtue, truth, peace and joy in writing down the healing scriptures that praise
almighty God, so you remember the power of the God you serve.
Yes and amen! Of course there is. My friends, if you never ever read another word
written by me, you’ve lost nothing. But if you neglect the word of God you have lost
everything.Read, study and meditate on the word of God. Obey and honor God. Please
don’t just read my words and be satisfied. Focus your mind on the healing scriptures
of God. Take it a step further.
62
Write down the Psalms and healing scriptures I’m sharing. Write the Psalms of praise
down and get them embedded in your spirit.
You are under no obligation to do so. What I’m presenting to you in this book is a
way to focus, calm yourself and remind yourself of God’s awesome power without
getting distracted. Writing is a very good way to focus and remember on words written.
Remember why you took notes in school.
Welcome to day 20 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression. You shall
remember the word of God but if your having trouble, do these healing scripture psalm
writing exercises.
Today’s psalm is Psalm 104:1-24 which has been personalized for you below.
Remember to go back and read the psalm out loud from the Bible. Grab your pen and
go now to your favorite spot. Enjoy your time with the Lord.

Psalm 104
1 I bless you O Lord, you are clothed with honor and majesty.83
2 You cover thyself with light as with a garment: you stretch out the heavens like a
curtain:
3 You O Great God, lay the beams of your chambers in the waters, you make the
clouds your chariot, you walk upon the wings of the wind:
4 You make your angel's spirits and your ministers a flame a flaming fire:
5 You O Great God of my salvation, laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not
be removed for ever.
6 You cover the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which you
have founded for them.
9 You have set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover
the earth.
10 You send the springs into the valleys, which run along the hills.
11 Mighty God you give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their
thirst.
63
12 O Great God of power and might, you water the hills from your chambers; the earth
is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
have been writing down the words of life and abundance of joy.
As you go about your day, I pray the word of God rise up in your spirit and overtake
negative thoughts. To God be the glory. Amen and Aaaaaaamen!

DAY 21
H ealing Scriptures are your key to joy and happiness. If you learn to trust God, you'll
always be assured that God is on the throne, working out your life according to
his plan. If your suffer from depression, stress or anxiety, let God's word embrace you
by way of God's healing scriptures. Welcome to day 21 of The Healing Scriptures
Healing scriptures have been our focus for the past 21 days. I have been on this journey
into the divine word of God with you. Though we have not met you have been in my
prayers.
I may not know you personally. I may never meet you. I do not know your name but
we share the Spirit of God. God is my father and yours. God’s healing scriptures were
given both to you and to me. God’s healing scriptures were given to every child of
God.
We have so much in common. It doesn’t matter what part of the world you live in.
When we look upon a sunset we both know the God who fashioned that great light in
the sky.
When we gaze upon the sun kissed waters of the lake we know who stops the waves
so they don’t overflow. It is God, yes God by way of his Holy Spirit connects us to each
other in love.
As you finish up day 21 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression, remember
this: God’s words must never ever stop flowing in you.
Continue giving attention to scripture study, prayer and meditation on praises to God.
Continue until the psalms turn into the melody of your heart and you sing out loud.
Continue as Jesus teaches us. Continue in the word for we are his disciples. Let God’s
word, through Christ, flow out of you as a well spring of hope faith and joy in him.
We can’t create divine peace and unshakable joy by our own efforts. The flesh is a
difficult thing to conquer but praise God, Christ gives us power from high.
We need the word of God, the healing scriptures from Genesis to Revelations, and
a heart to obey Christ. For what did Jesus of Nazareth tell us about continuing in the
word? The answer is found in John 8:31. Let’s look at John 8:31:
65
John 8:31
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then
are you my disciples indeed.
So then, are you the disciple of Christ? Of course you are! Am I right? Your heart for
God in Christ, has bought you to the last and final day of this praise writing program.
Welcome to day 21 of The Healing Scriptures Workbook for Depression.
Our final scripture is Psalm 145. Grab your pen and go to your comfortable spot. Your
about to experience yet another blessed praise writing session.

Psalm 145
1 I extol you, my Lord God, O King; and I will bless thy name for ever for ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 You are great O Lord, and greatly to be praised; and your greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous work.
6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy
righteousness.
8 O Lord you are gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 Lord you are good to all: and your tender mercies are over all your works.
10 All your works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless you.
11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power.
12 To make known to the sons men your mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of your
kingdom.
13 Thy Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and thy dominion endures throughout all
generations.
14 You O Lord, uphold all that fall, and raise up all that that be bowed down.
15 The eyes of all wait upon you and you give us our meat in due season.
16 You open thine hands, and satisfy the desire of every living.
17 Lord God, you are righteous in all your ways, and holy in all your works.
66
18 Lord you are near to all that call upon thee, to all that call upon you in truth.
19 O great and glorious God, you will fulfill the desire of them that fear you, you will
hear our cries and save us.
20 Lord you preserve all that love you: but all the wicked you shall destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak praises to you O Lord: and let all flesh bless your holy name
for ever and ever. I bless your name O God, forever and ever!
and I have enjoyed this praise writing journey.
Yes, I have been writing right along with you, in my favorite corner of my own house.
It is my daily practice which delights and brings me peace and joy.
Don’t stop meditating on the precious word of God. You don’t have to write out the
scriptures but you can choose to do these writing exercise, to help you focus your
thoughts on praising God.
If you find it hard to concentrate when your mind is bogged down with worldly worries
and heavy thoughts, focus your pen stokes on the divine Psalms of David. Remember,
praise raises faith. Praise to God lifts the spirit. Praise reminds yourself of God's power
to solve your every problem.
Praise is the garment that will clothe you with Joy. How much joy do you seek? It is
not the process of writing but God who heals. These writing exercises are just an aid
to memory. It is a help and a tool for focus.
