Here
is Chris Altrock’s contemporary take on Psalm 42.
Prayer: Have Hope
(inspired by Psalm
42)
God,
my soul is sad.
My
heart is hopeless.
I’m
frowning within and without.
But
I know the cure.
The crack
in my heart can be mended by you.
The thirst
in my throat can be quenched by you.
How
refreshing you are!
I
spend a few minutes in worship
and
you replace everything that is missing.
You
rehydrate my heart.
You
replenish my spirit.
So
I’m telling my soul, “Cheer up!”
I’m
counseling my heart, “Have hope!”
For
you, my God, are all I need and more.
