| 0:00.0 | Why, my soul, are you downcast? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. |
| 0:09.3 | Psalm 42, verse 5. |
| 0:13.8 | Welcome to today's encouragement from our daily bread. Remembering to forget was written by Bill Crowder and read by West Ward. Psalm 42 |
| 0:24.5 | verses 1 through 8. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. |
| 0:33.2 | My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. |
| 0:39.8 | When can I go and meet with God? |
| 0:47.8 | My tears have been my food, day and night, while people say to me all day long, where is your God? |

| 2:11.2 | babes, her past held much she didn't want to recall, so she wanted to remember the good things. Many carry the scars |
| 2:20.6 | of terrible, seemingly unforgettable things, but that child's wisdom offers hope. If we learn to |
