Quick to Trust . . . Quick to Confess

Share a comment

How do you respond when life collapses around you—or when your own sin pulls you down? Psalms 3–6 give us real answers. Whether David is running from enemies or from his own failures, these psalms reveal how trust in God and confession to God change everything.

In Psalm 3, David is literally on the run from his son Absalom. His world has collapsed, yet he declares, “You, O Lord, are a shield about me.” Even in crisis, David sleeps—because he trusts in God. Psalm 4 reminds us that grace belongs to those who trust in God’s righteousness, not their own. David models how to pray for your enemies and rest in God’s protection.

Psalm 5 is a heartfelt request for guidance: “Lead me, O Lord.” And Psalm 6 is David’s painful confession after procrastinating his repentance. His bones ache, his tears soak his bed, but when he confesses, he finds that the Lord has heard and accepted his prayer.

These psalms will teach you how to pray, how to rest, how to confess—and how to keep going when life gets hard. Learn to be quick to trust and quick to confess.
