Psalm 42:11

The psalm ends with a declaration that God is still worthy of praise. That does not mean everything has been resolved. It means truth is being allowed to steady the soul. God has not changed. His character has not shifted. His faithfulness has not disappeared. Fear and discouragement often make the soul interpret everything through heaviness. But praise begins to re-anchor the heart in what is still true. The soul does not have to wait until everything feels fixed before remembering who God is. Sometimes praise begins as an act of resistance against despair.

Reflect: What truth about God do you need to hold onto right now?
Pray: Father, help me anchor my heart in who You are, not just how I feel.
