Prayer for David was a regular morning routine. Prayer for David was communicating and communion with his God, his King, and his LORD. This personal psalm starts with David asking God to give an ear to his words and sighs. David is crying to his God and King for help. God hears not only words, but he feels sighs. My God experiences my emotions and troubles with me.
Factual statements about God are professed: God takes no pleasure in evil, hates all who do wrong, destroys liars, and abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful. The wicked do not dwell with God. The arrogant cannot stand in God’s presence. Knowing these and the magnificence of God compels me to be the opposite.
Is it possible for me and anyone to come to God in prayer for all sin and fall short of the glory of God? Is there any hope for the spiritually starving repenting soul? Yes. God does give mercy and grace through his Son. By his stripes, I have been healed. By his blood, I am forgiven. By the punishment he received in my place, I can enter the throneroom of the Holy One. Through Jesus, I have communication and communion with my God.
