In this opening message, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts depression with uncompromising Biblical Truth drawn from Psalm 42. As David’s world collapses, he refuses to numb his pain or seek false comfort. Instead, he thirsts for the living God. Dr. Youssef declares that despair deepens when God’s people forget His past faithfulness and drift from His presence. The cure is not self-help, but repentance, worship, and disciplined hope in God alone. This episode calls believers to challenge their souls, intercede through prayer, and trust the God who has rescued before—and will do so again through His sovereign grace in Christ. If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you
don’t have to walk through it alone.
