Why am I depressed? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God.

Psalms 42:5 GNT

 

The Lie; Your circumstances are a good reason to despair!

Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him For the help of His presence. Psalms 42:5 NASU

 

I used the “Good News Translation” as the sword thrust for this week, because of the relate-ability of the wording. When the events of the day seem to close in on you, and there is a tendency within to feel depressed and unmotivated, then ask yourself the same question David asked in this verse. And with your mouth, apply the same solution.
