Why are you downcast, O my soul? (Psalm 43:5)

There are only 2 reasons to be downcast. If we were still unbelievers, we would have a reason to be downcast, or if we have been converted but continue to live in sin, we are downcast as a consequence.

There is never a reason to be downcast, for everything else may be brought to God "by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving" (Phil 4:6) And through all our times of need, difficulty, and trials we may exercise faith in the power and love of God.

Remember, in the Lords own timing, help will come.

Our work is to lay our petitions before the Lord, and in childlike simplicity to pour out our hearts before Him, saying:

"I do not deserve that You should hear me and answer my requests, but for the sake of my precious Lord Jesus; for His sake, answer my prayer. And give me grace to wait patiently until it pleases You to grant my petition. For I believe You will do it in Your own time and way."

More prayer, more exercising of our faith, and more patient waiting leads to blessings... abundant blessings.
