In seasons of discouragement or spiritual dryness, our souls may feel downcast—but that doesn’t mean God has changed. Psalm 42–43 invites us to be honest with our pain, remember God’s past faithfulness, and keep seeking Him even when the answers feel delayed. This message reminds us that a longing for God can become a determined faith in Him. When we praise before we see the change, we root our hope in who God is—not just what we want Him to do.
