• 432 Praying Through Psalm 43: For When You Can't Praise Just Yet

  Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!What if the sheer volume of life—the sudden emergencies, the relentless busyness, the lingering questions about the future—has created a wall of "clutter" between you and God? What happens when you feel buried under anxiety or anger, wondering why God allows hard things to happen, and struggling to see Him as a loving Father rather than a harsh taskmaster? How do we scoop up all those heavy burdens—the fears, the frustrations, the doubts—and actually lay them at the feet of Jesus to find rest? How do we practice the holy habit of "self-talk" when our hearts are in despair, giving ourselves permission to be real about where we are while still clinging to the promise of who God is? In Psalm 43—a short, orphan psalm often viewed as the conclusion to Psalm 42—the writer cries out for vindication and light. Without a formal title or choir direction, this intimate prayer offers a raw look at a soul demanding truth amidst oppression, bridging the gap between deep despair and the confident expectation that praise will return. Join us for this encouraging 16-minute prayer through Psalm 43 on the Praying Christian Women podcast as host Jamie Hampton opens up about her own week of uncertainty and leads us in clearing the spiritual clutter. Whether you’re ready to worship or just hanging on by a thread, discover how to shift your question from "Why is this happening?" to "God, show me what You're doing," and find the courage to tell your downcast soul: "Hope in God, for I will praise Him again."

• 430 Praying Through Psalm 42: You Are Not Disqualified

  Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!What if you're feeling spiritually dry and distant—like life has you stuck in a desert of doubt, haunted by family baggage or your own regrets, desperately craving that close connection with God but hearing the nagging voice inside say, "Where is He when I need Him most?" How do we push through those nights when worry feels like our only companion, turn our inner chaos into a quiet trust, and show up for worship anyway, even when we feel too broken or unqualified to lead the way? In Psalm 42, the sons of Korah—descendants of a guy who rebelled big-time against God and paid the price—open up about their deep longing for Him, turning a family curse into a powerful song of hope that reminds us of David's own thirst and points ahead to Jesus welcoming the tired and thirsty to rest by the Rock that never runs dry. Join us for this heartfelt 15-minute prayer through Psalm 42 on the Praying Christian Women podcast as host Jamie Hampton shares the amazing story of the Korah crew's comeback as proof of God's second chances for all of us, and encourages you to claim that promise—"I will praise Him again"—no matter what mess you're carrying, so you can expect honestly, hope boldly, and walk right back into the presence of a God who says you're never too far gone.

• 428 Praying Through Psalm 41: When the Psalms are Confusing

  Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!What if you’re flat on your back—physically worn, emotionally frayed—surrounded by whispered judgments, stung by a friend’s betrayal, and wrestling the uneasy tension between your own failings and your hope in God’s mercy? What if kindness hasn’t shielded you from hardship, and doing good hasn’t guaranteed a soft landing, yet your soul still reaches for the God who promises to uphold the weak and heal the wounded? Psalm 41 pulls us into that exact space: the sickbed of sorrow, the sting of treachery, the ache of confession, and the stubborn trust that God sees, sustains, and ultimately vindicates. David threads together blessing for the merciful and pleas for deliverance, echoing the Beatitudes’ upside-down kingdom while foreshadowing Christ—the betrayed One who forgives, restores, and anchors us not in earned favor, but in unshakeable grace. Join us for this 18-minute prayer through Psalm 41 on the Praying Christian Women podcast where host Jamie Hampton invites us into honest spiritual wrestling. She confronts the discomfort between Old Testament reciprocity and New Testament grace, asks what mercy really looks like when life hurts, and reminds us that God doesn’t demand perfection—He forms forgiven hearts that overflow mercy because they’ve received mercy. Step into this episode ready to question, receive, and rest in the God who turns confusion into communion and holds us steady when life’s equations don’t add up.
