Summary
Psalm 42–43 teaches how Christians can lament honestly before God during seasons of spiritual dryness and unexplained suffering. The pastor shows that such dryness is normal, rooted not in personal failure but in living in a fallen world, and that healing comes through pouring out one's soul to God, preaching truth to one's own heart, and choosing to praise God even in darkness.
Highlights
Times of spiritual dryness can come simply as a result of living in a fallen world, and this is important for some of you to know because some of you are really new in your faith.
Christ is weak in your own heart but stronger in the word of your brother—sometimes a truth you have said to yourself rings more true when it comes from the mouth of someone else.
Even when I don't feel like praising God I will still praise him, because his worship is not based on his feelings but on God's worthiness.
