Send us a textIn this episode, we dive into the question, “What am I truly thirsting for?” We open a new series focused on caring for our bodies as sacred spaces, not problems to fix. Shifting our mindset in this way reshapes how we respond to emotional eating, self-image, and daily struggles. Drawing from Scripture, we reflect on the Hebrew idea of "thirst"—a deep, soul-level longing—and how only God's presence can satisfy that ache. Like the deer in Psalm 42, our hearts chase after true refreshment, yet we often settle for broken substitutes like food, performance, or approval.Christina shares a recent personal moment of emotional craving, where she realized her deeper need wasn't food—it was God's comfort in a hard place. We talk about how God meets us in our dry, weary spaces, just as seasonal rains bring new life to parched hills. We also offer a journaling prompt to help you name your own "dry places" and a breath prayer to connect with God in those moments. This episode is an invitation to see your body as already beloved and to tend to it with grace—because Jesus is present, even in your thirst.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org
Year C, Proper 7, Second Sunday After Pentecost
In this message, Mark Trinkl explores Psalm 42, focusing on the theme of longing for God. He emphasizes how the Sons of Korah, despite their family's rebellious history, chose to follow God and became worship leaders. Trinkl encourages listeners to choose God even in times of discouragement, echoing the psalmist's refrain: "Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God. I will praise him again" (Psalm 42:5).#Psalms #Prayers #Poems #Discouragement #ChooseGod #Praise #WhatAreYouLongingFor

In seasons of discouragement or spiritual dryness, our souls may feel downcast—but that doesn't mean God has changed. Psalm 42–43 invites us to be honest with our pain, remember God's past faithfulness, and keep seeking Him even when the answers feel delayed. This message reminds us that a longing for God can become a determined faith in Him. When we praise before we see the change, we root our hope in who God is—not just what we want Him to do.
Message from Tony Rose on June 8, 2025
What do you do when you're in pain or in the midst of life's challenges? Are you quick to fall into despair or do you, like the psalmist in today's passage, hold on to a deep hope in the midst of it all? In this week's talk, we reflect on this question as Pastor Jonathan walks us through Psalm 42, a passage that conveys the emotional and spiritual journey of a psalmist who held on to hope in God through great turmoil. As we explore this passage, we can be encouraged to learn what it means to have deep hope and how we can turn to God to experience that hope in our own lives.

Sermon recording from Sunday, May 25th, 2025.A study of Psalm 42:1-11.Thesis: Connect to the hope found in God to help you find balance in your life
We all go through tough seasons, but in Jesus we have hope. God's word serves as a guide, as a compass that we can follow through the valleys of life. Kicking off our new series, Pastor Ryan brings a powerful word on Psalm 42, a psalm of lament.
There is much we can learn from this Psalmist on how we are to respond when we feel far from God, isolated, and defeated. He moves from despair to hope, through remembering specific times he worshipped alongside the people of God and speaking to his doubts with the truths of God.

Is it possible to find hope in suffering? What if we're in a situation that is not likely to change, how do we find hope then? Join us as we study Psalm 42 and learn about how to walk with God in the midst of ongoing suffering. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Psalms 42 & 43 are about finding hope in the Lord, even when our difficult circumstances aren't getting better. Have you ever been in a situation where things don't seem to improve? What did that do to your hope and trust in the Lord? Why do you think it has that kind of an impact? 2. Why do you think the author, in verse 1, starts out comparing his seeking God like a deer seeking water? What might he be saying about his own pursuit of the Lord? Have you ever sought the Lord with this kind of passion? 3. According to verse 2, how is his search going? 4. Although we don't know the circumstances surrounding this psalm, if the psalmist is writing from exile (as suggested by the podcast) who are these people who are mocking him in verse 3? Why would they be mocking him? 5. If the author is writing from exile, and if he is not a young man, will his situation likely improve? Why or why not? How would that have been a difficult reality for him to work through? 6. Who (or what) is the author addressing in verse 5? What point is he making? How does this show us that we don't have to listen to our emotions or let them lead us? 7. Verse 7 is giving us a deep, meaningful message that hopefully resonates within all of us. What do you think he's communicating to us about difficult situations? 8. Verse 8 is filled with hope and trust. How does the psalmist describe his relationship with the Lord? Why would the psalmist still have this kind of a relationship with God, even if God wasn't doing what he (the author) wanted? Is your trust in the Lord this steadfast? Why or why not? 9. Yet, verses 9 & 10 show that the author was having difficulty making sense of his situation. What kinds of difficulties might he have been facing? 10. Despite these difficulties, what does the author tell his soul in verse 11? Why is this difficult for us to do? What have you learned about how to have victory in these spiritual disciplines? 11. In Psalm 43:1, what is the author calling out for? 12. How is Psalm 43:2 similar to what we have just read in Psalm 42? 13. What is the psalmist asking for in verse 3? Why is he asking for them? 14. In verse 4, where is the psalmist seeking to go? What will he do if the Lord leads him there? 15. Verse 5 repeats similar wording that we saw back in Psalm 42:5 & 11. Why are these principles so vital to trusting God, even when our situation may not improve? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

To Hunger and Thirst For God - Psalm 42_1-4 - Ps Gary Fitzgerald - 4th May 2025 by The King's Way Christian Fellowship - Glen Waverley
Passage: 1 As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” 4 These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. 6 My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. 7 Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me. 8 By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. 9 I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” 10 As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. (Psalm 42:1–11) Song: Psalm 42 (I Will Praise Him Again) by Jonny Robinson and Tiarne Tranter Lyrics: Why my soul are you downcast Why are you troubled within For I will hope in my Saviour my God And will praise Him yet praise Him again Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah I will praise Him yet praise Him again Morning by morning new mercies are streaming I trust in your goodness where I cannot see You have been faithful whenever I wandered Lord give me the hope that I need Prayer: Come, O Lord my God, my soul is a thirst for thee. As the deer longs for the waterbrooks, so longs my soul for thee. Hasten to my aid. Draw me to thyself. Fill me with thy presence. Make me a temple of thy Spirit. Amen. —Ambrose of Milan

When we are feeling empty or spiritually depressed, or when circumstances make us aware of our weakness, that is a great opportunity to grow in God by turning to Him and asking Him to fill our void. We must be thirsty for God before we drink of His living water (Isa 55:1, John 7:37, Rev 21:6, 22:17). When our soul is full of worldly things we have no room for God, but “blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (God's Word and Spirit) Presence, for they shall be filled (with God's Presence)” (Matt 5:6). In Psalm 42 the psalmist is depressed and thirsty for the living God (v1-2), so He turns to God to fill him. Inspired by the local scenery, where the river Jordan flows out from Mount Hermon at Banias and tumbles down in waterfalls, he focuses on God, seeing these waters as a picture of God's river of life (v6), and then cries out from the depth of his heart (need) to the depths of God to fill him: “Deep calls unto deep at the noise (sound) of Your waterfalls (of grace)” (v7a). Through His Word, we hear the sound of His river of life flowing to us, and respond by calling out to Him to fill us. As a result: “all Your waves and billows (of love, peace and joy) have gone over me. The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime” (v7b-8). The Oil Miracle (2Kings 1-7), when God filled all the empty vessels that were presented to Him with His Oil (representing the Holy Spirit) reveals that He is willing to fill all the empty parts of our soul with His Spirit, if we turn to Him, present them to Him, and ask Him to fill us. The Oil only stopped flowing when there were no longer any empty vessels to fill. So our empty voids (our awareness of our weakness and need) are a great opportunity to turn to god and be filled.

Psalm 42:4-5, 8-11 The Living Bible4-5 Take courage, my soul! Do you remember those times (but how could you ever forget them!) when you led a great procession to the Temple on festival days, singing with joy, praising the Lord? Why then be downcast? Why be discouraged and sad? Hope in God! I shall yet praise him again. Yes, I shall again praise him for his help…8 Yet day by day the Lord also pours out his steadfast love upon me, and through the night I sing his songs and pray to God who gives me life. 9 “O God my Rock,” I cry, “why have you forsaken me? Why must I suffer these attacks from my enemies?” 10 Their taunts pierce me like a fatal wound; again and again they scoff, “Where is that God of yours?” 11 But, O my soul, don't be discouraged. Don't be upset. Expect God to act! For I know that I shall again have plenty of reason to praise him for all that he will do. He is my help! He is my God!
March 23, 2025 - Rev. Jonas A. Brock
One of the realities of the Christian life that is often misunderstood is the presence of spiritual dryness. There are times when we feel vibrant, when prayer is easy, when the Word of God leaps off the page and grips our hearts. There are seasons when obedience flows naturally, when the fire of devotion burns bright, and when we feel a deep sense of intimacy with the Lord. But… there are also times when none of that seems to be true. There are seasons in the Christian life when we simply don't want to do anything. We don't want to read the Bible. We don't want to pray. We don't want to fight sin. We don't even want to go through the motions. The fire we once had seems to have burned low, and we feel spiritually dull, tired, and numb. This is not uncommon. In fact, this kind of struggle is woven throughout the pages of Scripture. Contact us @ 4faithfoundations@gmail.com For more resources visit our website @ faithfoundations.church
Psalm 42 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the Mighty One[d] with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng.5 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.6 My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember youfrom the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.8 By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.

The Lord has been giving explicit instructions to Moses and Aaron concerning the manner in which he should be worshipped. In our reading today, the priestly ministry of the Levites begins when Aaron faithfully executes the burnt offering, sin offerings, and fellowship sacrifices. When he is finished, the glory of the Lord appears to all the people and fire comes from heaven to consume the offerings. Sadly, Aaron's sons decide to offer sacrifices as they see fit, rather than following the Lord's instructions. Their ingenuity earns God's wrath, and fire comes from the Lord once again, only this time it doesn't consume the sacrifice.Leviticus 8 - 1:02 . Leviticus 9 - 7:40 . Leviticus 10 - 11:56 .
