Psalm 42:11:
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.
Witty headlines never fail to entertain:

3 Men (Denver Post)
• New Hampshire Hospital Evacuated After Several People Report
Feeling Sick (WHDH Boston, Mass.)
• Sacramento Event to Curb Gun Violence Ends with Gun Violence
(KXTV Sacramento, Calif.)
• Fire Truck Catches Fire While Battling a Fire and Then Explodes,

Much like those beleaguered firefighters, we all face
challenges that seem insurmountable, times when
everything goes awry, and it feels like the world is against
us. In a downcast time Psalm 42 was written. We don’t
know the specifics, but we can see his tears are evident (v.
3), and his anguish, pouring out his soul (v. 4). Yet, even
in his despair, he knew where to seek solace and strength:
in God (v. 6) who was his Rock (v. 9).
A headline from the Arizona Republic reads, “Arizona
Psychic Hit by Car Says He Never Saw it Coming.” No
matter the challenges that come your way, “hope in God”
(v. 11), and He will be your refuge.
