Episode Synopsis

Rev. James Harper preaches on Psalm 42:1-5 as part of our sermon series on praying with the Psalms. In times of spiritual and emotional crisis, we can use the words of this psalm to give voice to our struggle, and our desire to live in hope.  David's words remind us that we can and should be honest with God about our feelings.  We should look to the past to remember God's faithfulness, and talk to ourselves about what God says about us.  We are invited to turn our hope from the temporary solutions of this world, to the eternal hope that we have in Jesus, the one who went before us and made the way clear for us to call out to God and receive his grace in the midst of our struggles.
