“Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help. Protect me, for I am devoted to you. Save me, for I serve you and trust you. You are my God. Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am calling on you constantly. Give me happiness, O Lord, for I give myself to you. O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord; hear my urgent cry. I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble, and you will answer me.” Psalm 86:1-7 David is crying out to God for help. In this prayer, we see that this relationship is not one sided. David asks for help and he also is devoted to God, committed to serving God, and he gives himself to God. Are your prayers one sided? Commit yourself to God, serve Him, and be blessed.
Love, Joy, Peace, Hope
