Today we unwrap what it means to thirst for God while your soul is burdened. In Psalms42 King David says to “My tears have been my food day and night” he goes on to paint this picture of agony and being downcast. But he encloses it with the fact that he will continue to put his hope in God. That in our sadness it is when we are thirsty for God. So this poem is all about yearning for God in the midst of our pain.
