How can you be thankful when it feels like everything you could give thanks for has been lost? How can you be thankful when you are in despair because of circumstances, health or heartache? You can be thankful in the midst of heartached and this Psalm prescribes how to be thankful and why you can be thankful even now in the midst of despair. Actually, being thankful is not to be reserved for after God has acted, but is a result of believing that God will act on your behalf. Thankfulness is therapeutic. It will put a song back in your heart.
