Declare Everything to God
Commentators explain that "declaring my ways" is an act of complete honesty before God. It involves not only confessing sin but also laying bare all your cares, anxieties, plans, and needs. As Albert Barnes notes, it's like a child speaking to a parent about even the smallest trouble. This total vulnerability and dependence is the foundation for being heard by God.
