The psalmist was also a
Self talker.
He spoke to his soul,
Expressing his despair, and
Then he spoke himself out of his
Gloom by finding hope in God.
I do the same.
"Why are you cast down, o my soul and
why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him,
my salvation and my God." (Psalm 42:5)
