Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.—Psalm 43:5 (NIV)
O LORD, my God,
You are my Hope! Yes, You are my never-failing Hope! May I ever praise You, my Savior and my God!
In those dark times of
deep distress, when my soul is downcast and disturbed within me, grant me the
wisdom to question myself—to question the truth of the thoughts that have me
disquieted.
Help me to exhort myself again
to put my hope in the One who never disappoints—to put my hope in You, alone—trusting
that You are well able and ever-willing to do that which You have promised to
me.
Help me to begin to lift
my praise to You in my distress and wait expectantly as You lift me up into
Your Presence where Truth is found, my strength is renewed, and where my joy and peace are restored,
in my never-failing Hope!
You are my Hope! Yes, You are my never-failing Hope! May I ever praise You, my Savior and my God!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
