Daily Encouragement: Day 138

From Handbook to Wisdom, Day 138 (Promises)

God is the help of my countenance
and the restorer of my soul.

Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the
help of His presence.
O my God, my soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember You.
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I will yet praise Him,
the help of my countenance and my God.
(Psalm 42:5–6, 11)

Lord God, when I am downcast and disturbed, may I quickly turn to You and hold fast to Your perfect character. May I practice Your presence in all things and at all times, so that I will walk in Your peace and power in trying times. I will praise You for the help of Your presence. Amen.
