Through the lens of Psalm 60, we see a range of emotions and experiences—one who feels cast off by God yet seeks restoration, moments of lament and trust, and the reassurance that God's help is invaluable in times of trouble. The verses offer a reminder that our small problems are overshadowed by the greatness of our God, who can bring victory and comfort amidst despair.
