This is the morning sermon at Ramah Baptist Church in Palmetto, GA on May 24, 2026.

In this sermon from Psalms 42–43, the psalmist wrestles openly with sorrow, discouragement, and spiritual turmoil while continually directing his soul to hope in God. Surrounded by grief, opposition, and a sense of distance from the Lord, he repeatedly asks, “Why are you cast down, O my soul?” and calls himself to remember the steadfast love and faithfulness of God. These psalms remind believers that seasons of depression and despair are not foreign to the Christian life, but that even in the darkness, God remains the refuge and hope of his people.
