disquieted

"Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God." Ps. 42:5

My disclaimer is I'm not trying to provide a how-to plan for trusting the Lord, only sharing what is helpful for me on days like today. Talking to myself (in a non-pathologic way) seems to be particularly refreshing when I'm feeling restless and disquieted (John Piper has a great sermon on this). I used ESV search online to guide me. Reorients my thinking off of myself and onto Him. I remember that though I might not see or feel or know what He is doing or why He is doing it or what might happen as a result, everything comes from His hand and is good. Then comes worship when I see circumstance as the particular platform that God has provided for me to know Him more.
