Listen to how they whisper their slander against me, saying: “Look! He’s hopeless! Even God can’t save him from this!” Pause in his presence Psalms 3:2 TPT

I just love how comfortable David is with God that he can empty out all of his feelings and tell it like it is. And just as quickly, he says this:

But in the depths of my heart I truly know that you, Yahweh, have become my Shield; You take me and surround me with yourself. Your glory covers me continually. You lift high my head. I have cried out to you, Yahweh, from your holy presence. You send me a Father’s help. Pause in his presence Psalms 3:3‭-‬4 TPT

It’s what he has learned deep down in his heart that when he cries out, he’s sent a Father’s help. What does that look like? It’s what he learned from time spent with God because in reality, David had a horrible earthly father.

Regardless of whether your own father was a failure, an addict, a deadbeat, an abuser or just absent, as David learned from the best, so can you. Call on Him and allow Him to be your Father.
