Today's verse transports us into an intimate dialogue between David and God. It is a cry that arises from the depths of the soul, an appeal that echoes to us. "On the day I cried to you, you answered me...". How many times in our lives have we felt alone, abandoned, unable to face the storms that hit us? In those moments, the cry that rises from our lips is the same as Davide's: a desperate need to be listened to and comforted.
And God's response? It is immediate, powerful, capable of infusing new life. “You have increased the strength in my soul.” It is as if a light penetrated the darkness of our heart, driving away fear and despair. The strength that God gives us is not a human strength, but a divine one. It is a force that supports us in moments of weakness, that guides us in moments of uncertainty, that heals us from the deepest wounds.
This verse reminds us that God is always present, even when we don't see or hear Him. He is a loving Father who listens to our pleas and runs to our rescue. Our prayer is not a monologue in the void, but a dialogue with the One who loves us infinitely.
This morning we want to pray together saying: Heavenly Father, I thank you for your faithfulness and your mercy. I thank you for listening to me in times of difficulty and for giving me the strength to carry on. Help me to always believe in your presence, even when life seems dark and hopeless. Instill in me the courage to turn to you in every circumstance, knowing that you are my refuge and my strength. In the Name of Jesus... Amen!
With love, Ivano Salerno
