Title: When I Feel Overwhelmed
Text: Psalm 42

Psalm 42 is a type of lament psalm, which generally expresses a deep trust in God, and helps a person to express struggles, suffering or disappointment to God. As the first lament psalm in a new subsection of this book, it sets the tone for a deep longing for God in difficult and distressing situations.
