Depressed? Hopeless?

In today’s world, depression and hopelessness is not just common but can be considered an epidemic. What should Christians do in these circumstances? Turn to Psalm 42 and listen to verse 5 and part of 6.

Why are you cast down, O my soul,

and why are you in turmoil within me?

Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,

my salvation and my God.

If we know Jesus, then we must ask ourselves why our souls are so downcast and in turmoil. After we ask, we must also answer with the only thing that can possibly give us hope.

We must place our hope in God and praise Him because our salvation comes from Him. We must praise Him because He is sovereign. He is in control, not the evil forces of wickedness.

Verse 6 also says, “therefore I remember You.” When we forget who is in charge, we must remember it is the Lord God Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth who is in control. He has determined from the beginning what will happen and how it will end with Jesus’ return to bring justice and everlasting peace.

If you don’t know Jesus, then there can be no real hope in your life. To know Jesus, watch my video on the Gospel on YouTube or read on this Gospel link
