Why Am I Discouraged? Why Is My Heart So Sad?

I Will Put My Hope In God!

I Will Praise Him Again—My Savior And My God!

Scripture

Psalm 43

⁵ Why am I discouraged?
    Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
    I will praise him again—
    my Savior and my God!

Observation

Have you ever had a day where everything seemed to be going wrong? Yesterday was one of those days for me. Nothing I was trying to do seemed to be working out the way I had planned. Plus it was raining and my repair job that I had done earlier in the week to fix a leak that came from the top of our windshield only seemed to make the leak worse in yesterday’s downpour!

Maybe I was more bummed out than discouraged but this verse has a lot of meaning for me today and it jumped out at me this morning as I was having my Quiet time!

Today is a new day!

Application

I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again – my Savior and my God! 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You alone are Worthy of Praise! No matter how bad my day goes today I will praise You.  You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! Psalm 139:13-18
