Being reminded day 6.

In Psalm 6 we see that David is in a place and time of deep anguish. In verses 6-7 he pretty much pours out his heart with all the pain and anguish he is experiencing. Many times we are like David in the sense that when things are bad we turn and tell God what we need. That is the right thing to do but I feel that many times we do not follow through the way David does. I know that I'm am very guilty of this. Instead of giving my problems to God and leaving them at His feet, I tend to say; "God this is what I'm going through and this is what I need so take care of this and until then I will hold onto these things". What that leads to is a continuance of worry, fear, pain, and all that other crappy stuff that comes along with that. In Psalm 6:8-10 I was reminded of how I should act in times of need. First we see how David vents/gives all his problem to the Lord (1-7), then we see how he believes on the Lords promises and will continue to push forward (8-10). 
I believe that we could all learn from David. David understood two very important facts that I believe the Lord would remind us of today. First He realized that in times of need God is the first person we should go to. And second instead of hanging on and dwelling on his problems he believes on the Lords promises and gives them up. I know that this is usually easier said than done but this is something that we should be striving for. By knowing and believing that God hears our prayers and is ABLE to deliver us from our trials, it makes it so much easier to release our problems to Him and instead of living in fear and worry we will live in the hope and joy that comes with knowing Jesus.
