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 42:11)
Pray
You are my rock and my salvation, my ever-present help in times of trouble. When I feel overwhelmed and discouraged, I find solace in knowing that You are with me. Your love and presence bring peace to my heart and strength to my spirit. I know that I can trust in Your steadfast love and never-ending faithfulness. Help me to hold onto this truth when I am struggling with doubt and fear. Fill me with the assurance of Your presence and the hope of Your promises.
You are my source of joy and my refuge in times of need. When my soul feels downcast, I turn to You for comfort and rest. Help me to find my satisfaction in You alone, and to seek Your presence above all else. Renew my spirit and fill me with Your hope, so that I may have the strength to face the challenges ahead. May Your peace, joy, and confidence be my portion, and may I never lose sight of Your goodness and grace.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
