Lord my God, if I have done this
    and there is guilt on my hands—
4 if I have repaid my ally with evil
    or without cause have robbed my foe—
5 then let my enemy pursue and overtake me;
    let him trample my life to the ground
    and make me sleep in the dust. 

Psalm 7:3-5

How comfortable would you be to pray this prayer today? Is there anything you need to do about that?

Go away, all you who do evil,
    for the Lord has heard my weeping.
9 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.
5 For the dead do not remember you.
    Who can praise you from the grave?[b]

6 I am worn out from sobbing.
    All night I flood my bed with weeping,
    drenching it with my tears.
7 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?
