This has come from me for us.

A weekly podcast devoted to helping us gain a deeper love for the Savior and his gospel

through a weekly study of the scriptures.

Hopefully this study will help further prepare us to accompany the Savior as he seconds.

Come follow me.

And as always, I'm your host, Melanie Stroud.

This is season 4, episode 28, the second half of the Psalms.

In the manual, it says, the writers of the Psalms shared deeply personal feelings in their

poetry.

They wrote about feeling discouraged, afraid, and remorseful.

At times, they even seem to feel abandoned by God.

And some Psalms carry a tone of frustration or desperation.

If you've ever had feelings like these, reading the Psalms can help.

You know that you aren't the only one.

But you'll also find Psalms that can encourage you when you're having such feelings.

Because the psalmist also praised the Lord for his goodness, marvel at his power, and

rejoice in his mercy.

They knew that the world is burdened by evil and sin, but that the Lord is good and ready

to forgive.

They understood that having faith in the Lord doesn't mean that you'll never struggle

with anxiety, sin, or fear.

It means that you'll know who to turn to when you do.
