Two of our speakers focused on the treasure we can gain from the Psalms. What treasures has God shared with you lately? Have you shared that treasure with someone else as a way to encourage them in their time of need?
Alejandro Sanchez – Psalm 42
The author of this Psalm was in deep sorrow. He had tears. He had lost his appetite. He was focused on self, which is a main point of depression. He had questions. But the answers are found here as well! When we face depression we must stop looking at self and put our eyes on God. We must stop looking at the past and look to the future. We must stop asking why and rest in God’s promises. When you don’t understand, it is best to trust the One who does. When you don’t know what is going on, trust the One who knows everything. When you don’t see what will happen, trust the One who sees everything.
Karim Dahdah – Psalm 65
Praise is a reaction to what God has done. Only those with 
experience can truly praise God. We are to pray in affliction, but we are to praise in all areas of life. We can praise God because He hears our prayers. He forgives our sin. He satisfies our soul when we are in his presence. He protects and supports. He is almighty. He is our provider. He has everything and can give us anything He wishes, so we must praise Him!
