I have been using two practices I didn't even realize I was using. Those are meditation and visualization practices. These two practices have been very beneficial in my life. I have used both to calm down, focus, eliminate emotional distress, and help with depression. When using the visualization process when depressed, I would have to visualize certain things in my head. I would begin talking back and forth in my head denouncing the thing that is causing me to be depressed at the time. I would begin using quotes from the bible such as "by His stripes I am healed, I am the head and not the tail, I am more than a conqueror, and I have the mind of Christ." When I do this after about ten or fifteen minutes I begin to feel better.
The meditation process is used in all areas of my life as well. The most recent is when I was believing for Christ to heal my pastor. I began to meditate on the word of Christ for his life. I would tell myself that God does not lie. He did before and I knew he would do it again. This was a process that was going on from the end of July till last Sunday. My pastor walked in the church healed in one area but still waiting on his healing in the other. I will continue to meditate day and night for him till he receive his healing. I not only do it for him but for myself also in times of difficulty or when I need God to do something for me.
