Overcoming Depression by:
Thinking, Speaking and Acting Biblically
1 THINKING:
Proverbs 3:25,26
 25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
 26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
 James 1:2-4
 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire,
  wanting nothing.
 1 Peter 4:10
 10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another,
  as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
 Ephesians 4:32
 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
  even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
2 SPEAKING:
 Philippians 2:14,15
 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke,
  in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation,
  among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
 Ephesians 4:15, 25, 29
 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things,
  which is the head, even Christ:
 25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour:
  for we are members one of another.
 29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
  but that which is good to the use of edifying,
  that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
 Proverbs 10:18
 18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips,
  and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
 Matthew 5:9, 23, 24
 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest
  that thy brother hath ought against thee;
 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way;
  first be reconciled to thy brother,
  and then come and offer thy gift.
