. Thirsting for God in Trouble and Exile  
 

Today's Passage: Psalm 42-43 
​​

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.
​
Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).
​

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

7th strategy.
Repetitive Reading

  • Begin by getting your heart ready to receive the words that God has laid down for us on this page. Ask Him to give you what you need to hear. Ask Him to give you the mind of Christ to be able to remember this strategy and continue it throughout the day.
  • Read the passage completely. Ask God to give you one verse that resonates in your heart today.
  • Write the verse down on a pad of paper, sticky note, or even on your phone in notes or your calendar.
  • Pray and ask God to give you a number of times to repeat this verse throughout the day. Write that number underneath the verse.
  • Or ask Him if it would be better for you to read and repeat the verse three times and then do that again later in the day. Asking how many times to have this little repetitive session and writing that down under the verse.
  • Every time you repeat the verse mark a tally under the verse.
  • Do this throughout the day. Try to reach your set goal or above it.
  • At the end of the day attempt to speak the verse without looking at it.
  • Before bed repeat the verse again either rereading it off of the paper, or quoting it from memory. Either is a glory to God.
  • And remember, God gleans great pleasure when you stop and thank Him for being with your throughout your day.

Psalm 42.
1. As the deer longs for streams of water so I long for you, O God.
2. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him?
3. Day and night I have only tears for food, while my enemies continually taunt me, saying "Where is this God of yours?"

4. My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be:
I walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God,
singing for joy and giving thanks amid the sound of a great celebration!

5. Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again —my Savior and 
6. my God!

Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember you — even from distant Mount Hermon, the source of the Jordan, from the land of Mount Mizar.
7. I hear the tumult of the raging seas as your waves and surging tides sweep over me.
8. But each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life.

9. "O God my rock," I cry, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies?" 
10. Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, "Where is this God of yours?"

11. Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again — my Savior and my God!

Psalm 43.
1. Declare me innnocent, O God! Defend me against these ungodly people. Rescue me from these unjust liars.
2. For you are God, my only safe haven. Why have you tossed me aside? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies?
3. Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me.
Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.
4. There I will go to the altar of God, to God — the source of all my joy, I will praise you with my harp, O God, my God!

5. Why am i discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!
Psalm 42—43 NLT
