“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God” (Psalm 42:11).
Happy New Year! The holidays are officially over and we’ve enjoyed them so much. It’s time to step back into our regular routines. We may feel a bit of a let down, but, it will pass. At this time of year, some may begin to suffer from “seasonal affective disorder.” There is usually a serious mood change when the season changes. It can best be described as “having the winter blues.” The writer of our verse gives a timely remedy for depression. “Hope thou in God.” Count your blessings and give Him praise. This will take the focus off your feelings of being “cast down.” Finding much to be thankful for will help in chasing those blues away.
