High salt intake while wearing your deer pants....What is your 42?
+
Hey everyone! Thanks for the great discussion @ Th3 Waters OG last night! Here is the scripture for continued discussion:
Psalm 42:1-11 NIV Psalm 42:1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" 4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng. 5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and 6 my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon-- from Mount Mizar. 7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. 8 By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me-- a prayer to the God of my life. 9 I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?" 10 My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?" 11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
==================
Oh and don't forget to attempt to write your own Paslm 42. We have all had...and probably most of us are all going through a time in which we are or would like to cry out to God with the pain, hurt, confusion, etc... and this can be a time that we can write our own soul cries to God and see if anyone else could be helped by it just like the Psalms help us today from some one else's cry all those many years ago.

My Version of 42:
Father, you are like the air and food that I need. You own my life and without you, my life would be meaningless. I need you all the time! While I struggle with worries and juggle with my busy schedules, I ask myself... "this time, did I make the right decision?" I remember that prayer of surrender. I gave my life to you. Yet, why am I still in charge of my life? If I already gave my life to you, what is the meaning of this anxiety? Still, you constantly remind me to find peace in you. Father, now that you own my life, I'm at peace. Thank you for listening to me and challenging me through my own struggles.

Thanks in advance for helping me be less stupid...
God there are days in my life that I scream for your presence to show up! I cry from my soul and find nothing, and then I listen to you. Sometimes you are in my surroundings and others times in my friends and family. I find myself weeping in solace to find no comfort from anyone around me...and then I listen to you and I find a discomforting comfort. One that is not making it all better like I desire for it to be, but a comfort that is present in the middle of my life. More than holding my hand, but hugging my soul, and not letting go even though sometimes I push you away. Let us all put our hope and faith in God who quiets our screams and endures all things with us. My faith and hope are in you! Let us all praise you! Amen!
God, where are you today? I cry out for you, but honestly, you seem to be silent. My heart cries out for things...but i feel like i have to keep waiting. why? Why God does it seem so hard?
Lift me up out of these feelings, God. am I wrong for feeling this way?
My 42
