—Psalm 42:5-11
by: Angie Osborn.
There are times in life when we feel discouraged. It is just part of life on this earth. Sometimes, we may even feel distant from God. In this psalm, the writer was discouraged. He appeared to feel somewhat distant from God too. So what did he do? He prayed! He cried out to God. When we feel distant from God; when we feel discouraged, we need to remember that He is there. He is holding us and waiting for us to come to Him. Like the psalmist, we need to remind ourselves that our hope is in God and He alone is our rock!
