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[c] 6 and my God.

My soul is cast down within me;
    therefore I remember you
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
    from Mount Mizar. Psalm 42:5

The writer said he would remember God from the land of Jordan…

Do you have a special place that makes you think about God?

My soul is cast down within me;
    therefore I remember you

My tears have been my food
    day and night,
while they say to me all the day long,
    “Where is your God?”
4 These things I remember,
    as I pour out my soul:
how I would go with the throng
    and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
    a multitude keeping festival. Psalm 42:3,4

How long has it been since you have been in a joyful procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise? If it has been too long what are you willing to do to make it happen?

Have you ever wandered away from God and found yourself wishing to go back? What was that experience like?
