Psalm 6
"The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer."
I can just see and hear the agony that David carries as he writes this psalm. He seems helpless, like he can't find the strength to do anything until he is washed of his sin. He is begging the Lord to have pity on him, begging the Lord not to be angry or cast punishment.
I think it is hard to ask for forgiveness, it's very humbling, and feeling humbled is not always what we want to feel. The pleading in this psalm is extreme-what all is weighing him down? What if instead of letting things pile up and reach this point of anguish, we ask for forgiveness often-daily. The great thing about God though, is He doesn't care when we come to Him-He will always accept our prayer.
