Before the Fall, the relationship between God and humanity was straightforward and uncomplicated. In a state free from pain and weakness, humans were able to fully comprehend God's message and communicate with Him effectively. However, following the Fall, our ability to communicate with God has been hindered. When faced with adversity, we tend to erroneously attribute our suffering to God. Had we retained our original physical and spiritual capacities, we would not hold God responsible for our hardships. As the creator of humanity, God empathizes with our struggles. Despite our imperfections, God shows us genuine compassion and mercy.
God has given us the opportunity to grow closer to Him by sharing our challenges. The poet's query of "Until when?" signifies God's presence in our lives, acknowledging that, unlike Adam, we may find it difficult to fully please God. Our struggles and communication with God are interconnected, as evidenced in the Psalms where individuals pour out their deepest emotions. By recognizing and articulating our difficulties, we open ourselves up to God's transformative power. We are all on a journey marked by hardship and uncertainty, and it is only through God's grace that we can attain salvation and eternal peace in heaven.
