“To the singing master. For stringed instruments. David's teaching psalm; Give ear, O God, to my prayer; do not hide from my supplication. Answer me and answer me; I am perplexed by my complaint and am troubled by the cry of the enemy and the oppression of the wicked; for they cast calamity upon me, and they make me angry furiously. My heart trembles in my heart, terrors of death spring to me; fear and trembling come upon me, and horror grips me. Then said I, I wish I had wings like a dove! Fly and find landing. Behold, I would flee far and be in the wilderness. I would hurry to shelter myself from the gale and the proclamation. Destroy, Lord, and confuse your advice, for I see violence and strife in the city. Day and night they rotate in its walls, and walls within it overcomes wickedness and malice; there is destruction in the midst of it; oppression and deceit do not depart from their squares. Indeed, it is not an enemy that affronts me; if it were, I would bear it; neither does he hate me who exalts himself against me, for I would hide from him; but it is you, my equal man, my companion and my close friend. Together we walked, together we entertained, and went with the multitude to the house of God. ”Psalm 55: 1-14

David was betrayed by his best friends, he was betrayed by his son, he suffered a lot, but he loved God with an intensity, a strength.

Of course in the world you will have many frustrations and tribulations, but if you apply your heart and love God strongly, He will always be with you and preparing everything. It's no use prioritizing friendships, you should be friends with everyone, but you can't prioritize that. You must conquer, seek quality of life yes, but the most important is to prioritize your relationship with God. There will be a time in your life that you will look around and not see anyone. And God is always telling you, "I'm here." David was a good man, always welcoming people and helping. You and I will always come into situations where we can do nothing, only we learn to seek God. He wanted to fly away, disappear. His situation was so difficult that he wanted to go to the desert. The desert is cruel. But he thought that what he was going through in the city, even in the desert he would be better off. David suffered from the disappointment of being betrayed by people close to him. This Psalm teaches to trust only in God. You want to see your life change, when you wake up you call for God, anything calls for Him, because the bible says "the Lord is near." When we spend a lot of time without calling for God, He is sad. You don't realize it, but God calls you all the time, tries to get your attention, to arouse your hope, faith in your heart. God creates situations just for you to realize that He is calling you in some way, He allows acute problems in your life, for you to call for Him. Then David says, "I called him, I will call on him." That was one of the most important prayers he ever said and he became one of the symbols of heroism in the faith. Who controls, who rules is God. Do not give up your friendship, your communion, tighten your bonds and grow stronger in God. It leaves no hurt, grudge, hate the evil suggestions, because the world presents new situations every day. And Satan's role is to play his life against God. If God is important in your life, you will shine, you will be successful in everything you do. So the teaching for your life is this, the Word of God. If you cling to God more and more, trust in Him, of course, that He listens to you and when He will deliver what you asked for, you can be sure of that. May you have a blessed day!
