Why are you downcast?

Psalm 43:5 (New International Version)

⁵ Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.

I have no reason to be downcast, depressed, weighed down. My circumstances WILL NOT weigh down my praise to my Heavenly, Glorious, WONDERFUL Savior God.

Micah 7:8 :

⁸ Do not gloat over me, my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will rise.
Though I sit in darkness,
the LORD will be my light.

Though I feel as if darkness is creeping in, the LORD my God will be my light. For light always defeats darkness when it is called on, and I call on my God, my light, my hope in a losing situation.
