Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God.
Two of the psalms assigned for today (also 42) close with this internal monologue.
Why, how, when, what, how long... the Hebrew מָה or mah is an all purpose interrogatory.
These are perpetual questions, never entirely resolved... at least in this life.
Yet we are to hope, wait, expect answers.
To hope in God is to have faith in possibilities beyond our understanding.
Psalm 43
