* This is a great view on how David prayed.
* He poured out his heart to God, and allowed God to carry his burdens.
* By the end, you can see how David’s heart changed.
* The situation may not have changed, but David’s perspective did.
* Here in this Psalm he’s talking about sorrow in his heart.
* Vs 1-4 show David praying an emotional prayer.
* Vs 5-6 show David moving from emotional to TRANSACTIONAL.
* “But I Will” - this is a matter of the will, disregarding his emotions.
* He would make a deliberate CHOICE to not allow his emotions to dictate his attitude or his perspective.
* He would CHOOSE to trust God, which is all about finding his security in Him.
* He may not have “felt” any differently in the moment, but in time his emotions (and ours) would catch up with his commitment.
* *** Note - Security is our #1 core human need. So when David needed to guide his emotions he went right to the source - he found his security in GOD!
