Don’t Give Up Hope?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those have turmoil but still hope in God. In Jesus’ name, amen.
It is easier said than done to move from being in turmoil to having a hopeful, bright, and happy disposition.
For example, the psalmists in Psalm 42:8-11 wonders if God has forgotten him. He goes on to thrive and encourage others:
8 By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
9 I say to God, my rock:
“Why have you forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 As with a deadly wound in my bones,
my adversaries taunt me,
while they say to me all the day long,
“Where is your God?”
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.”
By the end, the psalmist is filled with hope. Are you suffering and feeling cast down? Are you depressed? If necessary, look for help. Fear not, for the Lord is with you.
