Scripture

Psalm 86

1 Bend down, O LORD, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
2 Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
3 Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
4 Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
5 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
6 Listen closely to my prayer, O LORD;
hear my urgent cry.
7 I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me.

Observation

How is your prayer life?

Did you pray when you woke up during the night? Did you talk to God when you woke up this morning? Will you pray throughout the day? What about whenever you are in trouble will you pray?

David shows us how to pray in this Psalm. In verse five he says that we can call on the Lord because He is a God that is, “so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.” He is so ready to help you and so ready to help me this morning if we will just call on him.

Application

I will call on the Lord whenever I’m in trouble, and He will answer me!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, you are so wonderful. This is my prayer to You this morning:

1 Bend down, O LORD, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
2 Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
3 Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
4 Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
5 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
6 Listen closely to my prayer, O LORD;
hear my urgent cry.
7 I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me. Amen. Psalm 86:1-7
