Talking to Our Soul Physician About Our Embodied-Soul

“Self. Listen.” Martin Lloyd-Jones’s classic book, Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cures, began as a series of sermons on Psalm 42. As a pastor, professor, and physician, Dr. Jones writes as a soul physician of embodied-souls. One of Jones’s most well-known quotes is from his sermon on Psalm 42:5, where the Psalmist says,“Why are you cast down, O my soul? Why are you so disturbed (disquieted, in turmoil) within me? Put your hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, my salvation and my God.”P
