As the passage opens, the psalmist openly calls out to God because his soul is longing for Him. He is thirsty for God's presence in the midst of questions and trouble in his life. Even in times of the psalmist's heartache, he knows true deliverance is not complete without God's hand guiding him.  In our own lives when everything looks out of control, we have to speak the truth of God's word into our minds. He is with us and has already won the victory. Speaking the living word of God to yourself again and again will begin to heal your hurt and shift your focus from wanting deliverance to longing for the Deliverer. Christ is enough to satisfy every need for every person. We only have to want Him more than any other thing.    Psalm 42:1-11 Jameson Thacker
