This sermon explores Psalm 42 as a model for honest prayer during seasons of spiritual disorientation. Drew Zeiler addresses the gap between what we know to be true about God and what we experience when He feels distant. Rather than medicating our discouragement with distractions or created things, the psalmist shows us how to bring our sadness, confusion, and questions directly to God through lament. As he remembers God's faithfulness, he repeatedly preaches truth to his own soul, calling himself to hope in God despite his circumstances. The sermon culminates in the reminder that Jesus was forsaken on the cross so that we would never truly be abandoned, making the cross the ultimate display of God's faithfulness.
