Depression and anxiety

Prayer - Lord what do I do with my anxiety and depression. Life is simply just too overwhelming. I want to trust you with trying circumstances, but I simply don't always know how. Please help me, Amen. I find that many of us Christians are guilty of looking at the destination and not the process. We read verses that talk about giving our worries to God and they are so true. We forget though that we live in a fallen world and we are broken people and that there is a process in maturing and growing in all areas of our Christian Life including our emotions. Reading through the books of the Bible such as Jonah, the Psalms and Lamentations, clearly people had anxiety and depression in the Bible times too. Many great hymns were written out of deep despair. We need to be honest in our Humanity and yet determined to allow God to work in all aspects of our life through the refining process that takes time. Lyrics refiners fire - Purify my heart, let me be as gold
And precious silverPurify my heart, let me be as goldPure gold
Refiner's fire, my heart's one desireIs to be holySet apart for you LordI choose to be holySet apart for You my MasterReady to do Your will
Purify my heart, cleanse me from withinAnd make me holyPurify my heart, cleanse me from my sinDeep within
Ready to worshipReady to followReady to do Your will
