WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.440 I think we're going to be looking at a psalm together, so if you'd like to turn in your Bible, roughly the middle, Psalm 42. 00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:25.060 In a couple of weeks' time, we're going to be going back to Genesis, the first book in the Bible. 00:00:26.059 --> 00:00:31.879 You may remember that over the last couple of years, we've been going through Genesis. 00:00:33.379 --> 00:00:41.719 We've looked at the life of Abraham, the life of Jacob, and in a couple of weeks, we're going to be looking at the life of Joseph, which will complete the book. 00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:45.359 But before we do that, we're going to be looking at a couple of psalms. 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:52.539 The psalms are really helpful to us in our lives and in our struggles. 00:00:55.060 --> 00:01:01.640 So we're going to read Psalm 42 together now and look at it together. 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.500 So let's hear God's word to us. 00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:18.019 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. 00:01:18.019 --> 00:01:24.319 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.039 Where can I go and meet with God? 00:01:30.379 --> 00:01:38.799 My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, where is your God? 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:48.140 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, 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.700 with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng. 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.319 Why, my soul, are you downcast? 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.979 Why so disturbed within me? 00:02:02.539 --> 00:02:09.239 Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God. 00:02:10.699 --> 00:02:13.439 My soul is downcast within me. 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:21.620 Therefore, I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. 00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:27.240 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls. 00:02:27.659 --> 00:02:30.700 All your waves and breakers have swept over me. 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.360 By day the Lord directs his love. 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.860 At night his song is with me. 00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:42.300 A prayer to the God of my life. 00:02:43.980 --> 00:02:46.259 I say to God, my rock, 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.200 Why have you forgotten me? 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:54.060 Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy? 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:59.939 My bones suffer mortal agony, as my foes taunt me, 00:03:00.519 --> 00:03:02.099 saying to me all day long, 00:03:02.539 --> 00:03:04.299 Where is your God? 00:03:06.419 --> 00:03:09.500 Why, my soul, are you downcast? 00:03:10.399 --> 00:03:13.099 Why so disturbed within me? 00:03:13.099 --> 00:03:15.099 Why, my soul, are you downcast? 00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:16.719 Put your hope in God, 00:03:17.379 --> 00:03:19.680 For I will yet praise him, 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.000 My Saviour and my God. 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:26.740 Well, let's pray together. 00:03:26.740 --> 00:03:37.360 We ask that you, Father God, 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.620 the God of all compassion, 00:03:42.980 --> 00:03:46.040 would now, through your word and by your Spirit, 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.560 pour out your comfort upon us 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.560 in our troubles this day. 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.719 Meet with us 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.800 and give to us what we need. 00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:07.099 And we ask this in Jesus' name. 00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:08.259 Amen. 00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:15.360 So how are you? 00:04:17.420 --> 00:04:18.439 How are you? 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:22.459 I'm doing fine. 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.240 It's what we always say, isn't it, 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.540 when we are asked the question. 00:04:28.019 --> 00:04:29.019 I'm fine. 00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:32.019 Well, the writer of this psalm 00:04:32.019 --> 00:04:34.139 is anything but fine. 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.720 Look at the beginning of verse 5. 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.180 Why, my soul, are you downcast? 00:04:43.180 --> 00:04:46.159 Why so disturbed within me? 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.140 The writer is not in a good place. 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.740 He is down and depressed. 00:04:54.200 --> 00:04:57.120 In fact, it seems to be an ongoing trouble 00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:58.400 through his life. 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.740 The questions are repeated. 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:01.940 Look at verse 11. 00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:07.020 Why, my soul, are you downcast? 00:05:07.640 --> 00:05:10.740 Why so disturbed within me? 00:05:10.740 --> 00:05:14.019 There's a shadow hanging over his life 00:05:14.019 --> 00:05:15.660 and it's not shifting. 00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:17.920 It's grey and dark, 00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:21.120 not bright and colourful. 00:05:22.900 --> 00:05:24.819 Now, while this can be hard, 00:05:24.939 --> 00:05:27.259 there is something refreshingly honest 00:05:27.259 --> 00:05:30.540 about this psalm and the author's experience. 00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:32.740 Some of you will remember 00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:34.759 a little while back last term 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.000 we had Ivan and Carol Watson 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.460 come and speak to us. 00:05:38.459 --> 00:05:41.680 Carol reminded us that fine, 00:05:42.139 --> 00:05:43.539 F-I-N-E, 00:05:44.239 --> 00:05:45.299 stands for 00:05:45.299 --> 00:05:47.519 feelings inwardly 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.219 not expressed. 00:05:50.539 --> 00:05:52.199 You see, we feel the pressure, 00:05:52.339 --> 00:05:53.539 don't we, from others 00:05:53.539 --> 00:05:54.579 and from ourselves 00:05:54.579 --> 00:05:56.679 to always be positive 00:05:56.679 --> 00:05:58.039 and upbeat, 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.779 to present this persona 00:06:00.779 --> 00:06:02.959 of one of absolute calm 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:03.799 and peace. 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.560 We want to be always able 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:08.319 to go around 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.060 with that permanent smile 00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:11.600 and friendly welcome 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.579 and always to be able to say, 00:06:13.939 --> 00:06:15.100 I'm fine. 00:06:17.780 --> 00:06:19.660 But the weight of pretending 00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:21.920 only breaks us 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.280 and crushes us. 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:25.519 You see, what we need 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.879 is the words of this psalm. 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.279 This poem helps us 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:31.860 to express in words 00:06:31.860 --> 00:06:33.100 our inner feelings. 00:06:34.100 --> 00:06:34.920 It enables us 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:36.060 to cry out 00:06:36.060 --> 00:06:37.319 in honesty 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.519 before God 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.620 to find hope 00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:43.219 in our troubles. 00:06:45.219 --> 00:06:46.300 So, four things 00:06:46.300 --> 00:06:47.360 we're going to see 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:48.659 from this psalm 00:06:48.659 --> 00:06:49.899 that will help us 00:06:49.899 --> 00:06:51.480 whenever we're down 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.379 or depressed. 00:06:53.379 --> 00:06:55.740 It's a pattern 00:06:55.740 --> 00:06:57.319 that we can follow 00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:58.680 for ourselves. 00:06:59.740 --> 00:07:01.040 So, here are the four things. 00:07:01.159 --> 00:07:01.819 We're going to look at 00:07:01.819 --> 00:07:03.040 praying with tears, 00:07:04.180 --> 00:07:05.459 voicing our troubles, 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:07.740 speaking the truth 00:07:07.740 --> 00:07:10.360 and learning to trust. 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:12.819 So, tears, 00:07:13.819 --> 00:07:14.199 troubles, 00:07:15.500 --> 00:07:15.939 truth 00:07:15.939 --> 00:07:17.899 and trust. 00:07:17.899 --> 00:07:20.719 So, first, 00:07:20.979 --> 00:07:21.479 praying 00:07:21.479 --> 00:07:23.799 with tears. 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:25.739 Look at verse 3. 00:07:27.139 --> 00:07:28.019 My tears 00:07:28.019 --> 00:07:29.759 have been my food 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.659 day and night. 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:34.620 We all go through 00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:35.259 seasons 00:07:35.259 --> 00:07:37.219 when all we have 00:07:37.219 --> 00:07:38.819 is tears, 00:07:39.659 --> 00:07:41.079 broken dreams, 00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:43.419 hurtful experiences, 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:44.679 shattered hopes, 00:07:45.919 --> 00:07:46.959 loss of family, 00:07:47.899 --> 00:07:49.000 the experiences 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:49.699 of life 00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:50.659 that we go through 00:07:50.659 --> 00:07:52.219 bring heartache. 00:07:53.339 --> 00:07:54.179 And maybe that's 00:07:54.179 --> 00:07:55.239 the place you're in 00:07:55.239 --> 00:07:56.319 right now. 00:07:57.159 --> 00:07:58.219 Or maybe you've 00:07:58.219 --> 00:07:59.179 been there before. 00:07:59.659 --> 00:08:01.539 Sometimes all we have 00:08:01.539 --> 00:08:03.139 is tears. 00:08:05.039 --> 00:08:06.239 But our tears 00:08:06.239 --> 00:08:07.259 are not wasted. 00:08:07.979 --> 00:08:08.179 Look, 00:08:08.299 --> 00:08:09.019 the writer 00:08:09.019 --> 00:08:10.979 is a firm believer 00:08:10.979 --> 00:08:12.259 in God. 00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:13.079 Look at the end 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:13.879 of verse 8. 00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:16.560 He talks about 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:17.120 a prayer 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:17.959 to the God 00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.019 of my life. 00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:21.819 Verse 9. 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:23.439 I say to God, 00:08:24.139 --> 00:08:25.340 my rock. 00:08:27.280 --> 00:08:27.660 You see, 00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:28.899 he has a personal 00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:30.439 faith and belief. 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:30.840 You see, 00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:32.019 Christians are not 00:08:32.019 --> 00:08:34.019 left with their tears. 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:36.159 They pray 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:37.700 with tears. 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:39.299 In other words, 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:40.120 we have someone 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:40.879 to go to 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.340 with our disappointments 00:08:42.340 --> 00:08:43.519 and our losses. 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:44.460 we have one 00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:45.179 who sees 00:08:45.179 --> 00:08:45.980 and knows 00:08:45.980 --> 00:08:47.340 and understands. 00:08:48.980 --> 00:08:49.720 Our tears 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:50.679 are never 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:51.679 wasted 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.500 because they 00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:54.299 express 00:08:54.299 --> 00:08:55.299 what is on 00:08:55.299 --> 00:08:56.039 our hearts 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:57.720 as we cry 00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:58.579 out to God. 00:08:59.579 --> 00:09:00.679 Verse 3. 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:02.639 My tears 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.079 have been 00:09:04.079 --> 00:09:05.019 my food 00:09:05.019 --> 00:09:06.399 day 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:07.740 and night. 00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:12.940 second, 00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:14.360 voicing 00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:15.360 our troubles. 00:09:16.139 --> 00:09:16.539 You see, 00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:17.700 as we pray, 00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:19.259 we are bringing 00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:20.399 our complaints 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:21.940 and our troubles 00:09:21.940 --> 00:09:22.560 to God. 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:23.580 Look at verse 1. 00:09:25.180 --> 00:09:26.060 As the deer 00:09:26.060 --> 00:09:27.340 pants for streams 00:09:27.340 --> 00:09:28.080 of water, 00:09:28.820 --> 00:09:29.799 so my soul 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:31.100 pants for you, 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:32.200 my God. 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:33.360 The picture here 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:34.320 is striking, 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:34.899 isn't it? 00:09:34.899 --> 00:09:36.360 Just as a deer 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:37.759 runs to escape 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.279 the pursuing lion 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:40.360 and longs 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:41.419 for some respite, 00:09:41.779 --> 00:09:44.259 a coo-watered stream, 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:45.620 so the writer 00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:46.860 is running 00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:47.699 from trouble 00:09:47.699 --> 00:09:49.079 and is longing 00:09:49.079 --> 00:09:49.959 for God. 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.459 We're not quite sure 00:09:52.459 --> 00:09:53.919 what the trouble is, 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:55.620 but the response 00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:56.399 is right. 00:09:56.539 --> 00:09:58.259 He desires God, 00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.980 he needs God, 00:10:00.079 --> 00:10:01.240 he's panting 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:01.939 for God. 00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:05.660 But what makes 00:10:05.660 --> 00:10:06.320 our troubles 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:07.900 perhaps so difficult 00:10:07.900 --> 00:10:10.040 is the feeling 00:10:10.040 --> 00:10:10.820 that in our 00:10:10.820 --> 00:10:12.640 longing for God, 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.120 we find that 00:10:15.120

00:10:29.040 that we see 00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:29.880 in the psalm. 00:10:30.460 --> 00:10:31.620 Where is God? 00:10:31.940 --> 00:10:33.460 And why 00:10:33.460 --> 00:10:34.480 has God?

psalm is 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:55.899 both raw 00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:57.659 and real 00:15:57.659 --> 00:15:59.560 because it 00:15:59.560 --> 00:16:00.420 opens us 00:16:00.420 --> 00:16:01.019 up to the 00:16:01.019 --> 00:16:02.139 experience of 00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:02.940 one believer 00:16:02.940 --> 00:16:03.740 and it 00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:04.360 gives us 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:05.100 the words 00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:06.020 to express 00:16:06.020 --> 00:16:07.020 our inward 00:16:07.020 --> 00:16:07.740 feeling. 00:16:09.180 --> 00:16:09.980 You see, 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:10.560 with God 00:16:10.560 --> 00:16:11.120 we don't 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:11.660 need to 00:16:11.660 --> 00:16:12.140 pretend. 00:16:13.100 --> 00:16:13.620 We can 00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:14.180 take off 00:16:14.180 --> 00:16:14.860 the mask 00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:15.380 of those 00:16:15.380 --> 00:16:16.340 smiles and 00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:17.440 joys and 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:17.840 we can 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:19.300 voice all 00:16:19.300 --> 00:16:19.980 our troubles 00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:20.620 to God 00:16:20.620 --> 00:16:21.520 and we can 00:16:21.520 --> 00:16:22.320 pray with 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:23.020 our tears 00:16:23.020 --> 00:16:24.020 and we can 00:16:24.020 --> 00:16:24.820 cry out, 00:16:25.400 --> 00:16:25.920 where is 00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:26.460 God in 00:16:26.460 --> 00:16:27.060 my trouble? 00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:28.000 cry out, 00:16:28.219 --> 00:16:31.979 cry out, 00:16:31.979 --> 00:16:32.959 out, 00:16:32.959 --> 00:16:33.439 and so. 00:16:33.439 --> 00:16:33.599 this psalm is 00:16:33.599 --> 00:16:34.479 both raw 00:16:34.479 --> 00:16:35.559 and real. 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:36.899 It shows us 00:16:36.899 --> 00:16:37.719 the experience 00:16:37.719 --> 00:16:38.599 of one believer 00:16:38.599 --> 00:16:39.959 and gives us 00:16:39.959 --> 00:16:40.639 the words to 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.500 express our 00:16:41.500 --> 00:16:42.599 inward feelings. 00:16:42.600 --> 00:17:02.259 You see, with God we don't need to pretend. We can take off the mask of our smiles and joys and we can voice our troubles to God. We can pray with tears and cry out, where is God in my trouble? Why have you forgotten me? 00:17:02.259 --> 00:17:12.740 Well, there is an answer. Third, speaking the truth. Look at verse 6 with me. 00:17:13.379 --> 00:17:24.220 My soul is downcast within me. Therefore, I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. 00:17:24.220 --> 00:17:36.019 The writer is far away from home in the land of the Jordan, way up north. He's high in the mountains. He's away from God's people and God's house. 00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:44.259 But yet as he cries out to God, he also speaks truth about God. Look at the beginning of verse 6. 00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:52.019 My soul is downcast within me. Therefore, I will remember you. 00:17:53.240 --> 00:18:00.799 You see, he's longing not for a place, but for a person. He remembers God. 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:08.400 You see, if anything is going to get us through our troubles, it's by remembering who God is. 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.860 Two things we need to remember. 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:16.220 First, God is over my troubles. 00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:17.860 Verse 7. 00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:27.620 Deep calls to deep, in the roar of your waterfalls, all your waves and breakers have swept over me. 00:18:28.620 --> 00:18:35.220 It's like us being caught in a surging, cascading river, dragged under and pulled along. 00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:41.960 And just as you manage to break the surface for air, another wave comes crashing over. 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.120 Isn't that how life is? 00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:50.480 We seem so helpless as trouble after trouble sweeps over us. 00:18:51.059 --> 00:18:54.039 We get over one loss and then we're faced with another. 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:57.839 We come through one trial, only to be hit again. 00:18:58.539 --> 00:19:00.700 It seems there is no relief. 00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:04.920 But look how these troubles are described. 00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:06.039 Verse 7. 00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:16.680 Deep calls to deep, in the roar of your waterfalls, all your waves and breakers have swept over me. 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:21.720 You see, our troubles are not random chance events. 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:24.700 They are the roar of God's waterfalls. 00:19:26.059 --> 00:19:28.860 They are the waves of God's breakers. 00:19:28.859 --> 00:19:32.959 Yes, we struggle to understand why God allows it. 00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:35.059 But it is not a chance. 00:19:35.719 --> 00:19:37.039 It is not a mistake. 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:39.759 He is over your trials. 00:19:40.339 --> 00:19:42.839 He rules over your suffering. 00:19:43.699 --> 00:19:49.819 In our stormy troubles, we are safe and secure in the grip of God's sovereignty. 00:19:52.059 --> 00:19:55.359 Second, God is present with love. 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:57.059 Verse 8. 00:19:57.059 --> 00:20:01.859 By day the Lord directs his love. 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:06.899 At night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:13.299 You see, as the waves break over us, God is present with love. 00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:17.399 In every storm his love is steadfast. 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:20.039 Look back with me to verse 3. 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:26.819 My tears have been my food day and night. 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.559 But yet in the tears, verse 8. 00:20:31.099 --> 00:20:34.440 By day the Lord directs his love. 00:20:34.980 --> 00:20:37.480 At night his song is with me. 00:20:37.700 --> 00:20:43.259 In the day and through the night, God's love is upon you. 00:20:43.259 --> 00:20:48.920 The truth is, there is nothing and no one that can separate you from his love. 00:20:48.920 --> 00:21:00.600 In fact, what we discover is that not only is God present with love, the troubles we face are signs of his love. 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:06.480 They are signs of love because they bring about God's good and pleasing purposes. 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:11.880 One modern songwriter put it like this. 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:19.620 They write from a place of great trouble, having lost her husband early in their marriage. 00:21:19.619 --> 00:21:22.019 This is what she says. 00:21:22.859 --> 00:21:27.219 We pray for healing and for prosperity. 00:21:28.159 --> 00:21:32.439 We pray for God's mighty hand to ease our suffering. 00:21:33.699 --> 00:21:37.339 And all the while God hears each spoken need. 00:21:38.659 --> 00:21:42.319 Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things. 00:21:43.959 --> 00:21:47.699 Because what if your blessings come through raindrops? 00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:51.860 And what if your healing comes through tears? 00:21:52.380 --> 00:21:58.480 And what if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know God's near? 00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:05.880 And what if trials of this life are your mercies in disguise? 00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:14.640 What if the troubles that you are going through right now and that you will go through 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:18.259 are not random chance events? 00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:22.780 But are God's mercies in disguise? 00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:30.600 You see, as we cry out to God, we also speak truth about God. 00:22:31.320 --> 00:22:33.759 We remember who God is. 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:38.539 As we pray with tears, where is God in my trouble?
