What does the Bible say about overcoming depression?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that to overcome depression, we must seek things above where Christ is, focusing on His victory over the world.

According to Colossians 3:1-4, when we feel overwhelmed or depressed, we should set our thoughts on heavenly realities rather than earthly troubles. The passage encourages believers who are 'risen with Christ' to focus on the things above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God. This shift in perspective allows us to grasp the assurance that Christ has already overcome the world, reminding us that our hope and life are hidden with Him. By immersing ourselves in these truths, we can combat feelings of despair and remember our identity in Christ.
