The most Important thing to remember, when you need God to act, is that you understand who God is, and that you understand who you are in light of that. King David respected, awed, listened, and obeyed the Lord. He knew that without Him, he was like a man without a GPS. he got lost without Him. David made sure he got some alone time with God, and in that alone time, he lifted his soul up to Him. God is looking for the same in us today, when we need Him to act. He needs us to be humble and to fear (respect, admire, and revere) Him, for Him to be able to instruct you. David was able to experience the glory, prosperity, abundance, and provision in His life, and restored his soul where there was brokenness, fear (anxiety), outrage, and feelings of despair. God does the exact same things for us today, and we can't experience these things if we don't seek God, lift up our souls to Him, and treat our relationship with Him with tremendous importance, value, and care.
