Our desires are important to God because He is aware of them, as confirmed in Psalm 38:9, where it states that 'my groaning is not hid from Thee.'
Psalm 38:9 reassures us that not only does God see our desires, but He is intimately acquainted with our groans. The psalmist, David, expresses confidence that God hears and knows him, even in his deepest struggles. This is profoundly comforting and reminds us that we do not have a distant God; rather, we serve a God who cares deeply about the state of our hearts and minds. The awareness of our struggles doesn't mean that we must understand everything; it indicates that God is present with us in our trials and that He recognizes the complexity of our desires. This relationship forms the essence of our walk with Him, where our desires reflect our need for His grace and mercy.
