Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

By a verse that may sound more familiar to you and it's it's actually in Psalm 43 verse 5.

It's also in Psalm 42.

But why are you cast down on my soul?

Why are you in turmoil within me?

Hope in God for I shall again praise in my salvation and my God.

This picture of the psalmist here speaking to his own soul.

When he's at a low point, why are you cast down?

Oh, my soul, why are you in turmoil?

Hope in God, like it is good for us when we find ourselves at low points to speak to ourselves

and say to ourselves hope in God, remind ourselves there's a hope in God we need that reminder.

And we want to speak that kind of word into others lives when they're at low points.

We also need to speak that word into our own lives.

And then verse three and four.

So right before this in Psalm 43, the psalmist prays.

Send out your light and your truth.

Let them leave me.

Oh, make the connection.

When you're at a low point, when your soul is downcast, what do you need?

You need light from God.

It feels dark and despairing around you.

You need light and you need truth when we're at low points in our lives.
