Read Psalms 6.
Weeping, moaning, tears, grief, languishing, troubled, weary. Words like these speak volumes. We all know how the psalmist feels. Such emotion lasts throughout life. This is because of sin. Sin is very powerful. Sin not only separates us from God, but it burdens our souls. Carrying sin around makes one very weary, as this psalm shows.
The psalmist knows a power greater than sin. A power wielded by the one and only true God. The Psalmist is crying out to God. He does not boast his good works, and does not act deserving of grace. He knows his sin has separated him from God, and knows God alone has the power to restore him. The psalmist longs in his heart to be restored to God, and walk in God's ways once more.
God is God. He can do what He wants to do. Do you know what He chooses to do? He listens to us. God, the Creator of the universe, pays attention to us. He hears all. If this psalmist had not spoken these words, but felt in his heart that he longed for God, God would hear. God is perceptive to us. He understands what we really need. Not only does He understand, but He acts. God answers our pleas. Amazing!
