In Psalms 42 and 43, we hear the cry of a soul in exile—thirsting for God’s presence, weighed down by inner turmoil, and mocked by enemies who sneer, “Where is your God?” Yet woven into the lament is a refrain of hope: “Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.”

This episode explores the psalmist’s honest struggle with despair, the deep longing for God’s sanctuary, and the decision to trust Him in the waiting. These ancient words still speak powerfully to us today, reminding us that even in seasons of spiritual dryness or discouragement, God’s steadfast love remains our anchor.
