Psalm and Praise, Day 6

Being heard. Read Psalm chapter 6.

Through this chapter, David spends the first eight verses explaining his struggles and trials, and just how awful he feels about everything. He has been in the true valley of despair and he is struggling. There are eight verses to explain his feelings, but then we come to the last two verses of the chapter. David realizes that God has heard him. David knows that God will respond at the appropriate time in the appropriate way.

Sometimes, when we are going through difficult times and struggles, it can be hard to believe that God hears us. We just want someone to hear and understand us. God does hear us and God does understand us. We can be confident in Him and know that he will respond.

Are we crying out to God when we are in the midst of the struggles, do we know that he hears us, and are we confidently waiting his response?
