A Prayer When God Feels Distant
Commentators like John Calvin note that this prayer often comes from a place of deep anguish, where God's goodness feels absent. David isn't reminding a forgetful God; he is reminding himself and appealing to God's unchanging character. It's a model for how to pray with faith even when we feel forsaken, calling on God to act according to His true, merciful nature.
