A Prayer for the Afflicted (Psalm 6)

In Psalm 6, David in a time of both bodily and spiritual affliction wrestles with understanding the character of God during affliction. This Psalm teaches us that in times of trial, we should seek the Lord in prayer, bringing our earnest and honest petitions to Him, but we should pray to Him as the God of all mercies and be confident that He hears our prayers for the sake of Christ. An Honest and Raw Petition A Realistic Outlook An Exhausted Existence A Confident Faith
