This sermon, based on Psalm 42, teaches that seasons of brokenness and desperation are not signs of God’s absence but invitations to deeper dependence on Him. The pastors explain that desperation cultivates a thirst for God, calls believers to actively fight for spiritual focus, exposes human weakness, and ultimately anchors the soul in hope. Through practices like honest prayer, preaching truth to oneself, remembering God’s past faithfulness, and spiritual disciplines such as fasting, God uses hardship to reshape hearts. The central message is that while the world discards broken things, God redeems them, using weakness and suffering to draw His people into lasting hope, worship, and trust in Him.
