I
Will
Call
To You Whenever I'm In Trouble,
And
You Will Answer Me.
Scripture
Psalm
86
1 Bend
down, O Lord,
and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
answer me, for I need your help.
5 O
Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Observation
Why
was King David so successful? Why was God able to use David the way
He did? What made David so different than those around him?
The
answer to all of those questions is simple if you take time to read
the Psalms. David was a man of prayer! And Psalm 86 is one of King
David's prayers.
I
believe that if you and I will spend time in prayer and pray like
King David prayed then God will be able to say about us what God said
about His servant David, when He said that David was “a
man after His own heart.” (1 Samuel 13:14)
I
have been thinking a lot about prayer and the awesome privilege that
God has given us to pray and intercede for other people and for our
country, and for the world we live in.
I
know that I get frustrated just like you probably do when I pray and
pray and pray for someone but I don't see his or her life changing.
When I don't see God at work in his or her life.
I
am praying for the Covid 19 virus to stop, but it keeps spreading
like wild fire. I am praying for our country to come together, but it
seems to be going in the opposite direction.
So
what do I do? Do I just quit praying? Of course not …
God
is at work in the lives of those who I am praying for …
God
is at work in this midst of this pandemic and the only reason the
virus is still flourishing is because God is allowing it to flourish.
Our
country is moving in the direction that it is moving because as a
nation we are not putting God first (2 Chronicles 7:14) … but He is
at work right in the middle of all of this chaos.
God
is Sovereign. He is All-Powerful. Nothing gets by Him.
He
loves me and He loves you and He loves to hear us pray and cry out to
Him.
Application
Every
time I pray I am acknowledging that God is exactly who He says He is
and that He will do exactly what He says that He will do.
So
I will pray and never give up.
How
about you?
Luke
18:1
One
day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should
always pray and never give up.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, we are living in a difficult time. I know that believers all
over the world are praying and crying out to You for help. And I know
that You hear every single one of us as we pray. It is amazing that
You bother with us at all. I marvel at knowing that You are listening
to me right now and that it pleases You when I pray.
So
I will keep on praying and I will never give up. You are King of
Kings and Lord of Lords. Nothing is too hard for You. Help us, Lord.
We are in desperate need of Your help.
Soften
hard hearts. Answers prayers for reconciliation. Break down any walls
that divide us!
