The Psalmist is praying to God to be transformed on the inside. God has promised to be close to us because of His covenant promises. God does not want us to act as if we are not upset when we are burdened. Let me give you some advice from praying the axioms. Never keep your troubles to yourself. You must tell God exactly what you are experiencing. our experience is on words.He deals with the inward troubles that prevent us from feeling connected to others. We are social beings and need to feel connected to thrive. When we don't feel connected to anyone, we experience loneliness. Even when we are surrounded by people, we can still feel disconnected. The second problem is experiencing inward troubles that weigh us down. We become a magnet for outward troubles and they pile up in us, we feel like we are going to explode. It may be physical or emotional pain.The third issue that we face is our guilt from sin. The Psalmist always complains about emotional and physical pain first, and then guilt and sin. Our troubles always turn our eyes inward, so we start dwelling on our past mistakes. The last thing is the people who give us trouble. And if we are lonely and guilty, it seems that people start piling on. However, in describing our troubles to God, He will listen. God wants us to experience wholeness of body, mind, and soul. The Psalms are written to create unity and wholeness in our lives. If we do not feel like we control the world, we need the pronouncements to help us feel more centered.
