Good morning and welcome to Wake Up with Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly.

Today we’re in Psalm 42:11, where David asks himself, “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?” Then he gives himself the answer: “Put your hope in God.” This episode is all about how to lift your emotions, redirect your thoughts, and refuse to stay stuck in discouragement.

Life can hit hard. Marriage struggles, financial pressure, disappointment, setbacks, and seasons that feel impossible can all pull your emotions downward. But David shows us something powerful here. He did not just sit in his feelings. He talked to himself. He challenged the hopelessness. He redirected his soul. He shifted his focus back to God.

Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly talk about how important your meditation is. What you keep replaying in your mind shapes your emotional world. If you keep meditating on everything that is wrong, it becomes easy to lose hope. But when you begin to intentionally think on God’s goodness, His faithfulness, and the truth that things can get better, your heart starts to rise again.

This message is also a reminder that hope is not wishful thinking. Biblical hope is expectation. It is the confident belief that God is still working, still moving, and still able to turn things around. Even in severe circumstances, hope combined with right action can begin to change your emotional and mental direction. That is why you have to guard your thoughts and keep bringing them back to God.

Do not just sit in the discouragement. Talk to your soul. Put your hope in God. Expect better. Believe again. God is still able to do something amazing in your life.
