My God

Evangelist Martha P. Davis begins with heartfelt praise to God, expressing gratitude for the privilege of speaking to listeners through the radio. She offers a solemn prayer for comfort and healing, especially for those mourning recent losses, asking for God’s mercy to surround grieving hearts. Turning to Scripture, she reads from Psalm 22, drawing a powerful connection between David’s cries of anguish and Jesus’s suffering on the cross. She explains how David’s words—“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”—were prophetic, pointing to the crucifixion and revealing the depth of spiritual pain. Yet, she emphasizes that God did not abandon Christ, and through His sacrifice came ultimate victory over death. Moving to Psalm 42, she reflects on the soul’s longing for God during emotional turmoil and the temptation to feel forsaken. However, she highlights the turning point of hope in the verse, “Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him,” reminding listeners that even in the darkest moments, God hears, comforts, and strengthens. She closes by encouraging everyone to hold on to faith, pour out their hearts to the Lord, and continue praising Him as their ever-present Savior.
