Psalm 143
As his depression deepened, David sang his prayer to God. David reminded himself of God’s goodness in days past. He was honest about losing hope. In this state, he was thirsty for the presence of God and continued to sing his conversation with God. David chose to trust God. He wanted to hear about God’s unfailing love every morning. David is honest about his mistakes. Realizing that God is full of wisdom, grace, and power, David turns to prayer. David is thinking about who God is and all that God has done. David chose to rely on God completely. David asked God to rescue him, guide him, and teach him how to follow his guidance. David makes a fresh commitment to follow the guidance of God. We should follow David’s example.
