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!—Psalm 42:11 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
When I am tempted to become discouraged, help me to reason with my heart—reminding myself that You are worthy of all my hope and praise.
Help me to see that when I
become discouraged, I have “mis-placed” my hope—that I have placed my hope in
something or someone other than the One in whom all my hope is found.
Help me to see that when my
heart is saddened, I need only to raise my voice to the One to whom all praise
is due—and You will lift me up once again into your Presence, where I find joy
in my salvation and in the life that You bring to me.
For You are my Savior and
my God—the One who drives away all doubt and fear and renews my courage, hope
and joy, as I sing praises to You!
When I am tempted to become discouraged, help me to reason with my heart—reminding myself that You are worthy of all my hope and praise.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
