Psalm 42:5 KJV: “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou
disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise Him for the help of
His countenance” (face). (Disquieted means restless, uneasy feeling, feel
disturb or something that bother you.)
David, the Psalmist was interceding
his soul to turn to God. David’s soul was cast down which means he had lost
hope. So David intercede his ‘cast down’ soul to look up to God. David intercede
his soul to hope in God. Ps. 42:5 NCV: “Why am I so sad? Why am I so upset? I should put my
hope in God and keep praising Him, my Savior and my God.”
Are you beginning to lose faith in
God? Just because we don’t see what God is doing with your life, doesn’t mean “He
doesn’t care about you?” Your feeling is like roller coaster, going up and going
down. So let us intercede our soul from losing our hope in God. It will be good
to use part of Psalm 42 as an intercession prayer for us.
“O Lord God, I cry to You from a
broken heart and body. Sometimes I felt like David who said to You, "Why
have You forgotten me?" My afflictions in my body are like enemies who
troubled me again and again. They are saying, "Where is the God who heals
you?" I asked my soul, "Why are you so discouraged? Why are you
losing hope?"
I tell my soul, "Look up to God and put your hope in Him, not in yourself. Keep praising God who is your Savior." O Lord God, my soul thirst for You like a deer thirsts for streams of water. I yearn for Your Presence with healing in its wings. By faith I will leap like calves released from the stall (Malachi 4:2).
I tell my soul, "Look up to God and put your hope in Him, not in yourself. Keep praising God who is your Savior." O Lord God, my soul thirst for You like a deer thirsts for streams of water. I yearn for Your Presence with healing in its wings. By faith I will leap like calves released from the stall (Malachi 4:2).
The stall that confined me like a
prison, I shall be free from my afflictions. I will praise You for
anointing oil of Holy Spirit that flows through my body in Jesus' name, I pray.
Amen! "My soul, look up to God!"
May the Lord bless you and heal you
today!
Song: Near to the Heart of God
There is a place of quiet rest
Near to the heart of God,
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.
Chorus:
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.
(Lyrics: Cleland Boyd McAfee, Sing His Praise)
