The Surprising Power of Praise

    One Man’s Life-Changing Discovery

    A Christian Testimony

    This webpage available in French (Français)


    I’ve struggled with my Christian walk for many years now, always feeling heavy and depressed. Quite recently I discovered that praise in church made a big difference and was the one thing that lifted my depression, but it was always temporary. The depression would return later that day or the next day.

    So I searched the web for information about praise. I came across God’s Anti-Depressant. It’s really been life-changing for me.

    I was definitely one of those people who believed that the way to become free of depression was to complain to God and that if I became sufficiently miserable/depressed God would then be moved to help me. I believed that this attitude was right and that this was just a lengthy process of testing and becoming sufficiently broken.

    Well how wrong was I! Your article showed me that faith, praise, rejoicing and thankfulness form the key to overcoming depression and heaviness.

    I’m not completely free yet but I realize it’s a process and it can take a while to change mindsets that I’ve had for many years! But I’m experiencing freedom on a daily basis that I’ve never known or imagined I could have.

    Thank you for making the article free and available on the Internet.
