God is true and living,
our very present help!

I would frequently be impacted by my mother's illness and her mental state and lose myself in hopeless grief. My emotions and my faith ride a roller coaster of highs and lows.

Recently, I was experiencing depression all over again, and a church sister prompted me to declare the coverage of Jesus' blood over myself. When I was unable to push this emotion away, I began declaring, “I am God's beloved; I am not a victim of depression! The precious blood of Jesus has purchased and covered me.”

I kept saying the declaration over and over until all of a sudden the sense of hopelessness and depression in the dark ceased and left me. I felt as though this sensation was taken away totally. The experience was so tangible.

Thank You, Jesus! Thank You, Abba Father! God is a true and living God, our very present help! Praise the Lord!
