The next time you feel at rock bottom, read Psalm 130. Three basic request in this psalm echo the concerns in our hearts today.

# No matter how far down you may go or feel, God always here for you (vv.1,2).

# God not only hears us when we are down, but He holds us. We can’t stand before God in the courtroom of His justice; we are helpless. Only Jesus Christ can stand there, because only He is perfect. But He stands with us; He’s our Savior (vv.3,4). He says, “I forgive you. You have trusted My Son; you have confessed your sins; and now you can stand before Me.” The psalmist expresses the truth and his confidence in vv.5,6.

# We are sometimes like soldiers in the watchtower, waiting for the light. We can’t see, but God can see, then there is a future hope for His people (v.7).
