In The Biblical Cure for Depression, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims the unchanging Truth of God’s Word as the only remedy for spiritual despair. Drawing from Psalms 42 and 43, he reveals how David, betrayed and hunted, refused to remain in hopelessness. Instead, David challenged his soul, remembered God’s past faithfulness, and placed his hope in the Lord alone. This two-part series offers a bold, Scripture-rooted call to reject emotional bondage, return to God’s fortress of Truth, and reignite praise—even in the darkest valleys. The God who delivered before will do it again. In Christ, there is always victory, but only for those who repent, trust, and stand firm in His promises.

The Biblical Cure for Depression (Part 1)

Psalm 42

In this opening message, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts depression with uncompromising Biblical Truth drawn from Psalm 42. As David’s world collapses, he refuses to numb his pain or seek false comfort. Instead, he thirsts for the living God. Dr. Youssef declares that despair deepens when God’s people forget His past faithfulness and drift from His presence. The cure is not self-help, but repentance, worship, and disciplined hope in God alone. This episode calls believers to challenge their souls, intercede through prayer, and trust the God who has rescued before—and will do so again through His sovereign grace in Christ.
