Go away, all you who do evil,
    for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my plea;
    the Lord will answer my prayer.
10 May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.
    May they suddenly turn back in shame. Psalm 6:8-10

Here David knows his prayer will be answered. Do you think there was a waiting time between the knowing and the fulfillment? Is that how it works in your life?

Return, O Lord, and rescue me.
    Save me because of your unfailing love.
For the dead do not remember you.
    Who can praise you from the grave?[b]

I am worn out from sobbing.
    All night I flood my bed with weeping,
    drenching it with my tears.
My vision is blurred by grief;
    my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

Psalm 6:4-7

Have you ever been so overwhelmed with grief you could not function? How does God help in those moments?
