God Hears the Lonely Prayer
Commentators like Charles Spurgeon highlight that this is a fervent prayer from someone feeling isolated and unable to join in corporate worship. The psalmist is compared to Jacob wrestling alone with God. This serves as a powerful reminder that God hears the personal, desperate cries of His children, especially when they feel separated from the community of faith.
