Trusting God - Psalm 42

Thirsting for God (John 4:10-26)

2.Acknowledge your Condition with God (Psalm 42:3)

To move out of your downcast position, you must become deeply dissatisfied with what the world is giving you

3.For those who are already Christians, to get out of your downcast state...remember your first love. (Psalm 42:4 & 6)

4.Question the permanence and totality of your feelings (Psalm 42:5 & 11)

SO-Feeling aren't totalitarian leaders

Your feelings have a moral obligation to come under the obedience of King Jesus
