When your soul’s in despair, change your focus.
In light of what’s going on in culture there are times I feel a sense of despair as did the author of Psalm 42 which I just read.
In these times of frustration, fear or despair – I remember whose I am and who I am and focus on God who is my hope.
When I thank Him it builds my trust. When I praise Him it changes my perspective.
Declaring God’s goodness helps dispel my despair.
