Being Downcast Before God [June 6] Luke Miller
Series: David's Prayer Journal
Title: Being Downcast Before God - Psalm 42
When we lean into God with our pain, God will bring about our joy and His glory.
Psalm 42 & 43
Vs. 42:1-5
Vs. 42:6-11
Vs. 43:1-5
When we lean into God with our pain, God will bring about our joy and His glory.
When God feels distant, He is still present and working, He is just doing something different.
But go to Him when your need is desperate, when all other help is vain, and what do you find? A door slammed in your face, and a sound of bolting and double bowling on the inside. After that, silence. You may as well turn away. The longer you wait, the emphatic the silence will become. There are no lights in the windows. It might be an empty house. Was it ever inhabited? It seemed so once.
~ C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed
Vs. 42: 7, Vs. 42:9-10
God would rather have you wrestle with Him than walk away from Him.
Vs. 43:1-2
God would have us trust Him not only as savior but also as judge.
When we lean into God with our pain, God will bring about our joy and His glory.
Let God meet you in it and transform you through it.
1. Bring it all
