Listen to my cry, For I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.

Your Weakness is Your Plea
Commentators like Charles Spurgeon highlight a powerful truth: our plea to God is not our strength, but our weakness. David's cry, "I am brought very low," is described as a "blessed argument." God's heart is moved not by our goodness or achievements, but by our desperate need and emptiness. When you feel at your lowest, you have the most compelling reason to call on God, who looks upon the lowly with pity and grace.
