"A Prayer for God's Help"

June 3, 2021

1 My heart, O God, is focused and determined.

Now I can sing my song with passionate praises!

Awake, O my soul, with the music of his splendor.

2 Arise, my soul, and sing his praises!

I will awaken the dawn with my worship,

greeting the daybreak with my songs of light.

3 Wherever I go, I will thank you.

All the nations will hear my praise songs to you.

4 Your love is so extravagant, it reaches higher than the heavens!

Your faithfulness is so astonishing, it stretches to the skies!

5 Lord God, be exalted as you soar throughout the heavens.

May your shining glory be seen high above all the earth!

6 Come to your beloved ones and gently draw us out.

Answer our prayer for your saving help.

Come with your might and strength, for we need you, Lord!

David is expressing his heart and passion for the Lord throughout this chapter. Especially in these first 6 verses we can understand David’s heart.

David is willing and wanting the best praise for the Lord. He understands what God has brought him through and knows it isn’t from his own strength but the Lord’s.

As David starts off with praises, he transitioned it to prayer.

“Come with your might and strength, for we need you, Lord”

David wasn’t afraid to pray honest prayers. He understands he is human but needs the Lord strength in everything he does.

We can look at these verses and see the passion and desire to praise God and also seek for help from him as well.

As you go on today seek to the Lord with honest prayers. He is a God who sees and hears all. We can go out boldly knowing this and walk in this truth confidently.

David wasn’t perfect but he was a man after God’s own heart!
