A “through the bible” devotion from Psalm 6.
When David begins his prayer, he’s physically and spiritually troubled (Psalm 6:2,3). His nights are filled with grief and weeping (v6,7).
But by the end, he’d confident that God has heard his prayer and will take care of all his enemies (v10). His prayer has transported him from anguish to assurance.
How did that happen?
That is the power of prayer. It may or not change a situation, but it will always change us.
Prayer connects us with God. We may feel alone, scared, worried, or disconnected, but prayer refocuses us on his presence, protection, and power. It brings to mind his promises, puts everything into perspective, and powerfully calms our minds. It’s kind of like saying, “Amen,” nothing has changed, and yet everything has changed.
So even if it’s a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, just pray. Just tell God how you feel. Let the process open the door for him to do his thing and create a new spirit in you.
