Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disquieted within me?
Put your hope in God ...
Psalm 42:5
This verse is a personal pep talk.
We've all had those dark days. We've all had disquieting seasons. Sometimes the depression is dark and real and whelming. Most times, however, we simply need a pep talk ... a reminder ... a good dose of truth.
And most times, the reminder that we really need is to take our eyes off the things of this earth and focusing upward, put our hope in God. He is healing in the midst of brokeness. He is blessing in the midst of discouragement. He is power in the midst of trials.
Most times, we just need to pull away the pall that half-truths and frustrations throw around us ... and remember that God provides wisdom to guide us, love to assure us, and hope to comfort us.
In Christ's Love,
