I will say to God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me?"

Why must I go about in sorrow because of the enemy's oppression?

My adversaries taunt me, as if crushing my bones, while all day long they say to me, 

"Where is your God?"

Why, my soul, are you so dejected? 

Why are you in such turmoil? 

Put your hope in God, 

for I will still praise him, my Savior and my God.

Psalms 42:9-11 CSB

The roller coaster ride of talking to God, self talk, emotions, and truth continues right to the end of Ps42!

With all that's going on here none of his emotions are blunted, none of his problems have disappeared, and he has still chosen to not only put his hope in God, but chooses to praise Him as well. 

This song gives us the freedom to bring the "what" that is going on for us, and the "how it feels", how it impacts us part to God.

To church.

To those we trust. 

To be real.

The writer encourages us to ride the roller coaster and choose to praise God anyway. 

Know that in all the questions and fears and unknowns, nothing can separate us from His Love. 

Nothing.
