- Hope Series Six – Manna by Dorothy & Tony
*Theme: Why Cast Down? (ASL: Why Depress?)
Psalm 42:5 “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). (Ps. 42:11; 43:5) (Disquieted:
restless; uneasy feeling; feel disturb or something that bother you). KJV
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.”
Prayer from Psalm 42: 'Wishing to be near God.'
“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). The stall that confined me like a prison, I shall be free
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!"
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.
(Cleland Boyd McAfee, Sing His Praise)
May the Lord bless you and heal you today!
Dorothy
*PS. I asked myself a question: What is hope? So here’s dictionary meaning: 1. To desire something and expect that it will happen <hope for a bicycle> 2. TRUST, RELIANCE <our hope is in the king> (End). So hope is really a trust and relying on God. Refreshing thought!
