Why am I so depressed?
Psalm 43:5, HCSB
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
It can feel like God is distant, whether because of evil in the world or our own sin or need to help others, yet we know that in Christ God is always with us through the promised Holy Spirit until His return.
Send Your light and Your truth; let them lead me.
Psalm 43:3-4, HCSB
Let them bring me to Your holy mountain,
to Your dwelling place.
Then I will come to the altar of God,
to God, my greatest joy.
I will praise You with the lyre,
God, my God.
It can feel like God is distant, yet He is always as close as a prayer, inhabits our praise, and promised to always be with His Church.
For You are the God of my refuge.
Psalm 43:2, HCSB
Why have You rejected me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?
It can feel like God is distant, especially when evil thrives, but we can take comfort in knowing that God has not only not rejected us but promised to be with us always when we are in Christ.
Vindicate me, God, and defend my cause
Psalm 43:1, HCSB
against an ungodly nation;
rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man.
It can feel like God is distant when evil runs rampant, but we know we stand on God’s truth and His promise that He is always with us.
