The psalmist was in the midst of a downward spiral
-
away from home and the Temple (42:1-4)
-
challenged by the enemies (42:3, 42:10)
-
feeling disconnected from God (42:9, 43:2)
Three ways in reversing the downward spiral
-
I remember You (42:6)
-
I put my hope in You (42:5, 42:11, 43:5)
-
I praise You (42:5, 42:11, 43:4-5)
Three way in letting your heat to be shpared by the Psalms:
-
Reading the Psalms
-
Writing the Psalms
-
Praying the Psalms
