The Roar Of
Your Waterfalls
As
the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I
go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while people
say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” These things I remember as I pour
out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the
Mighty One with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng.
Why, my soul, are you
downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet
praise him, my Savior and my God.
My soul is downcast
within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the
By day the LORD
directs his love, at night his song is with me— a
prayer to the God of my life.
I say to God my Rock,
“Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the
enemy?” My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day
long, “Where is your God?”
Why, my soul, are you
downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet
praise him, my Savior and my God.
Psalm 42:1-11
Do
you sometimes despair that there is no hope?
When
you feel that way, not if, believe in Jesus.
No
follower of Christ should feel reluctant to seek counsel for depression. Nor
should we feel that faith and prayer are too simplistic to help. There is always
hope in God!
Hope for the Christian is a certainty – because its basis
is Christ.
