David gives us a pattern that is helpful when we too face struggles.  David gives testimony of God's past deliverance, reflects in the present on God's goodness, and then prays for future deliverance.

Remembering how God has delivered us in the past and has been good to us gives us hope that God will be with us and deliver us in our current struggle.

May the Lord indeed pull you from the miry bog and set your feet on a rock!
