Spiritual Dryness and Depression (Psalm 42)
- Vulnerability. Honest confession.
- Name the pain. By remembering the joys of the past.
- Speak to your soul. Explore the emotions underneath? Why downcast? Disturbed? Preach to yourself - put your hope in God.
- Remember God. Past goodness & future hope.
- Look to the Future. Tell yourself - you will yet praise him again, experience joy, restoration, God’s presence. This too shall pass.
Pray it again!! Until it moves your heart.
