Psalm 86

A prayer of David.

Hear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am devoted to you. You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call to you all day long. Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my cry for mercy. In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me.

Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord; no deeds can compare with yours. All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.

Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.

For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave. The arrogant are attacking me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life--men without regard for you. But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn to me and have mercy on me; grant your strength to your servant and save the son of your maidservant. Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.


Today, we return back to a Psalm written by King David which is a personal prayer made by the King. As I read the psalm today, I just want to share that even the King depended on God so much in prayer, how much more we would need to learn to depend on God through prayer… To all who are reading my blog today, may I urge you, “Let us return to restoring our daily prayer life!”

It is time to rise up in prayer and learn to lay hold of God to move in the Supernatural Realm. While many things seemed impossible for us to accomplish or be delivered, let us pray to God who will help us and deliver us. Let’s experience God’s miracles in our lives as we start to witness Him answering many of our prayers as we rise up as Prayer Warriors.

O Lord, today, I thank You for reminding me to lay hold of you in prayers. Indeed, great is Your love for You are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. I love You, my Lord Jesus.
