For the overwhelmed
Psalm 43:5 “Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.” Aren’t you thankful for the Psalms that show the psalmists baring the pain of their souls? These men of God had troubles, just […]
