Psalm 28:1-9 KJV
1 A Psalm of David. Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. 9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

To feel far away from God even for a believer seems ludicrous but it not. God is all around us by His Spirit. David annointed by God is in a place of desperation where he feel God not hearing him. That emptiness or silence of God can be almost as deafening has his voice even if he speaks quietly to our hearts. Our desire to hear from God and yet to feel like we are in a pit, means exactly we done wrong and only God is able to take us out of the pit we are in. That the place we are in our life and that how we feel, means we are not further away from faith, but we begin to see our own sin. If we hearing the silence of God and we desiring to hear him that is still faith. Sometimes we need the feeling of abandonment of God to cry out to him in our unworthiness of sin. It does show us we still have faith in God that should be enough to know we need to wait on him. After all he not fast food at times. Yet we must examine ourselves and see if our sin is the trouble. David looking at his life and fit he was in the pit of despair and worry of not hearing from God. He was so concerned with loosing that relationship with God he starts begging God not to allow him to go down into the pit with the wicked. His own sin of judgment is in question.

God does correct us in our sin even as a believe in Christ. Yet we must examine the root cause of our own misplace feelings on why God is silent. Why he not seeming to hear our prayer. Are we praying for evil people the wrong way? Are we doing as the heathen do. There is a time to love our enemy and a time to pray that God's will be done in their life, that their wickedness and ways be destroyed. To understand some people will not change nor will never desire God is where we need to let go and allow God have his way. To allow God to bless us allow God's people to surround us.

Supplication is a prayer for change. Do we desire change in someone else not only ourselves at times. When we pray for the change in another, it is not us judging so to speak in a bad way, it judging the action we see that are not approved by God by his word and not our own words. We need examine the righteous judgment. The judgment of faith is essential to determining evil of man verses the goodness of God. David worked in the field of war and peace. He desired peace with his neighbors but not afraid to fight if he needed to. His prayer for his enemies not to cry peace and really mean war. Apparently David was in the heat of not knowing if he was fighting another battler or his enemies were turning to claim the peace he offered them.

David prayer changes to see them to have their own desert experience. After saying destroy them, destroy the wickedness and so forth. Because they do not honor God or the works of God. The evil doers speak peace to their neighbor and do evil mischieve. David prayer of supplication was for behavior modification.

When David knew God heard him. Then David begins to praise God, and in doing so he ask God to bless the people with their inheritance. He also thanks the Lord for being his shield and his strength. God's silence can mean he working on the problem. Our supplication for our enemies, our requestion for someone that there be a change in their life is for God to do a work in their life.

Are there times when we can not pray, is their times when the enemy frustrates us to the point we wonder at God's silence. The blessings that will come after the storm is great then the storm. I not master at praying for my enemy, I do not know a person that is. We might desire peace but our words are sometimes of war. God's silence is he is working, he is looking at the problem. When praying for our enemy we need to examine our own self to know if what we are asking God to do is not sin in our own life. Was David to high minded to see his own rags of sin, never in the least. We want God to take us out of the pit, then desire that for your enemy as well.

Dear Heavenly Father move in the heart of the soul of man. For change in our enemies that they will see their sin and turn to you and seek forgiveness. Lord renew in me a clean heart, change my ways from sin to the works you desire in me and changes my enemy as well. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

Psalm 51:9-13 KJV
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
