“Hope in God…” Psalm 42:11

A FORTIFIED SPIRIT

Our efforts to battle depressive feelings are never in vain! The feelings of discouragement may still linger on, but with a better fortified spirit, we can face life with greater courage.

And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.”
Psalm 42:11
