Psalm 42

Life can be difficult.  There is probably no one who has lived a life free from physical and emotional pain. It is those hard times in life when we are emotionally drug down. When the going gets tough almost all of us face dispair. This psalm says that our faith in God provides a counter-measure for those times when life is so hard. When we look around and see gloom and doom we can rest assured that God will give us a hope. Does that mean he will take away the pain? Not necessarily. Does it mean he will always restore our physical ailments? No. Will he keep us from facing death? Not likely. What it does mean is that if we depend on him he will carry us through the unknown turmoil that we will face. And he will grant us the privledged of glorifying him through our struggles.
It took me only a couple of minutes to read this psalm.
