“Why, my soul, are you downcast?  so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” — Psalm 42:11

Hey friend,

I know sometimes life hits like a thunderstorm you didn’t see coming. One minute the sun’s shining, and the next, you’re soaked in sorrow and trying to find your way through the fog. Psalm 42:11 feels like that sacred pause in the chaos where the psalmist takes a deep breath and has a heart-to-heart with his own soul.

He’s not denying the storm. He’s not pretending everything’s fine. But he is redirecting his focus. He says, “Put your hope in God.” Not in the world, not in the bank account, not even in the people we love—because all those things can let us down. But God? He doesn’t just give hope. He is hope.

So if today feels a little heavy, if your soul feels like it’s dragging, do what the psalmist did—talk to your heart, and remind it that the story isn’t over yet. You will praise again. You will smile again. You will find your strength in the One who hasn’t left your side, not even for a second.

Keep the faith, my friend. Hope in God. He’s not finished with you yet.
