**Psalms 31:10** — *"For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away."*
David does not dress this up. He sits in the wreckage of his own choices — not an enemy's sword, but his own iniquity — and he names it plainly before God.
There is a particular exhaustion that comes not from circumstance, but from carrying the weight of what we ourselves have done. The bones do not lie. The body keeps the record of a soul under conviction.
And yet — David writes this *to* God, not *away* from Him. The grief is addressed. The groaning has a recipient. That is the covenant mercy at work even inside collapse: we are permitted to bring the wreckage, not hide it.
Scripture reminds us that the shepherd does not wait for the sheep to be presentable. Walk with that truth today.
