Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my [sad] countenance, and my God. —Psalm 43:5

DAVID TALKED TO God about how he was feeling and so should you. His prayer life dealt with the real issues he was facing and so should yours. How you approach God with every aspect of your life will profoundly impact your mood. Even your prayer life can simply be rote rather than a reflection of a true dependence upon God. They are as different as darkness and light.

The fact that you put your faith in God does not necessarily change the things around you that are affecting your life, but it changes you. It reaches deeply into your joy and peace. It allows you to move forward with the assurance that you know Him and that He knows you. It allows you to focus on the goodness of God and not just on what is troubling your thoughts and weighing you down. Hope in God and open your heart to praise Him today!
