How long do you pray for something? Couple days? Months? Years? There is a lot to be said for prayer. Not only is it a conduit between us and God, but it can cause us to be very vulnerable. God knows us explicitly down to the number of hairs on our head but when we come before Him in prayer we realize our weaknesses, our struggles, our pitfalls, our depravity. It is a lot for these pieces of dust to take in, thank God we have a Savior that already knows these things and died for our sins and carries our burdens. One of the difficulties I have in prayer is the waiting or God's response my grace is sufficient for you. I can pour my heart out to Him. Pleading for Him to move in certain areas that are truly His will, and the enemy stands there going, "Ha he didn't respond. Well lookie there. He doesn't care about you or your circumstances." It is so hard to hear the jeers of Satan attacking God and not buckle. David was well acquainted with this. God's faithfulness endures even to the end of the age. In this verse the the Psalmist recalls God's faithfulness. He knows God has heard him in his distress and answered. He knows God will do so again and again and again. The enemy has no hold on this life. God has heard my prayers before and He hears them know and Jesus, the Christ stands before the Father interceding on my behalf. Though things look grim the great high priest has a better plan.

Psalm 4:1
