David, suffered from depression and defeat.
Psalm 143:3-4 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul;. . . . .Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
As terrible as the valleys of life are, they are also valuable.
In the valley we learn eternal truths about God, truths that energize and strengthen our faith.
Yes, there is pain and there are prizes, but thank God there is a path out of the valley.
David needed a fresh encounter with the Lord and prayed for it.
Psalm 143:8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
God will lift you out of your valley. Humbly pray with faith, and allow the Lord to wrap his loving arms around you. In His time He will lift you out of the valley.
