Text: Psalm 42

God Satisfies the Thirsty Soul (42:1-4)

• We should long for God like a deer pants for flowing streams of water.
• We need to see God as our living hope and help amid our tears and doubts.

God Comforts the Distressed Soul (42:5-9)

• We can become distressed when we believe that God has abandoned us.
• We can easily become weighed down by constant trials.
• We can rest in God's faithful love to meet us in our trials.

God Transforms Our Troubled Souls (42:5, 9-11)

• We must anchor our hope to God's faithful character by rehearsing God's promises.
• Instead of listening to our hearts, we must speak truth to direct our hearts to God.
