We must train ourselves by meditating on scripture to take our focus off of the way we experience life and the responses we get from others. God made us to focus on what He says. If He has done all of the work then its a matter of listening to Him speak. Gods word create eventsPs 51 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,and sinners will turn back to you. We die because Christ death began our process of restoration. Ps 56 7 On no account let them escape;in your anger, O God, bring down the nations. 9 Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help. Were as the wicked die by the condemnation of the law. Christian death is law,covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees applied to us because of Christ death. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;a broken and contrite heart,O God, you will not despise. The broken spirit is the knowing by experience that God had answer the request of Ps51 being convinced like our first experience of being saved that God alone had granted David his request.God has given us the law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees in the form of petitions and pronouncements. These axioms are Gods creative words. Salvation is both a one time event and ongoing as well. We are being saved. The Psalmist says that God spoke the axioms in creation. We are being delivered by the response of God by our petitions and pronouncements. The Psalmist calls this having a new word of Salvation. We speak axioms and God responds with deliverance..the word of salvation. We go through the trial, the tendency to be distant from God and the broken relations by seeking to be completely delivered

Some people focus on our attitude of confession instead of what David says in Psalm. 51 We are not forgiven by our contrition. We are forgiven through the Ps. 51 petition. David simply set forth these petitions. God responded to His petitions.

The ot narrative is not written as a history book. Not only did God speak things into existence in the original creation but God speaks the events in the ot before they happen. So this is the way that God creates and recreates the world. The Psalms are written as the teaching in the ot narrative. God gave us prophecy speech in the axioms.
