“When Darkness Presses In, I Lift My Eyes and My Voice” (Psalms 53, 83, 143, 23, 113)

“When Darkness Presses In, I Lift My Eyes and My Voice” 


What do you do when the darkness closes in—from within, around you, and even from above? This powerful teaching walks through five deeply honest Psalms that trace a journey from despair to praise—when the world forgets God (Psalm 53), when God feels silent (Psalm 83), when your spirit is crushed (Psalm 143), when you discover peace in the valley (Psalm 23), and when your soul rises to sing again (Psalm 113). 


Whether you feel forgotten, surrounded, or spent—today’s Daily Manna will help you lift your eyes and find hope in the unchanging Presence of God.
