How do I know if it’s depression or the enemy?

More of prayer,worship and praise is always good for your faith but it is not what makes problems go away. It is how much you simply believe in God’s power. I know its that simple, learn to believe in him and you can start small. Just how you believe that the place where you work will be there tomorrow when you show up, so is God. Saying his name does have power, but you need to believe when you say it. Do it after you get a bad thought, that’s what I do and it slowly makes those thoughts go away. You also have the authority to repent and call out anything that is not from God. Repent in your mind, or even in prayer. The enemy IS limited, he cannot read your mind so take advantage. use your authority because it’s a gift from God. I hope your doing well! If you need anything feel free to reach out to me! God bless you! One last important thing, when I was struggling with anxiety in my past, God spoke to me and told me to memorize his word and everytime I was anxious, i recited chapters in my head and it slowly went away! In prayer, try giving God praise and be thankful before you ask for anything, ask him to help you in prayer and He will!
