Have a set time for reading your Bible and praying. Depressed Christians may either give up reading and praying, or they may try to read and pray excessively in order to try and bring back their spiritual feelings. Both approaches are unhelpful. Instead, set aside a regular time each day to read and pray. If concentration is a problem, keep things short (5–10 minutes) until you feel better. Setting unrealistic spiritual goals will only deepen depression.
