This week's Fighter Verse is Psalm 86:5 - 7.
how the writer begins these verses,
how the writer talks about trouble and
how the writer ends the Psalm.
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you
Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace.
In the day of my trouble, I call upon you, for you answer me. –
It starts with who God is! (verse 5)
Trouble provides an opportunity to call out to God (6, 7a)
It ends with what God does! (7b)
Let's pray in a way that
REMINDS us of who God is.
DEPENDS upon God not delivery from circumstances.
CONCLUDES with the truth that God is working!
God-honoring, Biblically-centered prayers help us rest in the One who is worthy of praise and has revealed Himself to us in His Word.
Consider this Paul Miller quote "Learning to Pray doesn't offer us a less busy life. It offers us a less busy heart."
