Today's verse is found in Psalm 42:5-11
"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will praise Him, my Savior and and my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember your from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon-from Mount Mizar. Deep calls to deep in the roar of the waterfalls; all the waves and breakers have swept over me. By day the Lord directs His love, at night His songs is with me-a prayer to God of my life. I say to God my Rock, 'why have you forgotten me? why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?' My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, 'Where is our God?' Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, My Savior and my God."
Isn't that a beautiful letter to us? Hope is something that all of us want. When a relationship falls apart or someone dies the one thing that you crave the most is hope. Jesus let Himself be killed in the cruelest way so we can have an everlasting hope that never extinguishes. He wants to give it to you because He knows that you need it.
