Throughout this study we have been practicing praying God's Word. Have you noticed there's a real sense of peace imbedded in this process? Psalm 86 is sub-titled 'A Prayer of David' in my Bible. Through prayer and focusing on God's love David could put those who were tormenting him in the right perspective. Praying this psalm in my own words was very enlightening. Enjoy!
Oh, LORD, bend your ear down to earth so I can speak my needs directly into it.
I trust you to keep me safe because You are my God.
I send prayers to You 24/7. Hear and grant them.
Help me find gladness in serving You.
Many call upon You and depend on Your goodness, forgiveness and constant love.
Hear my prayer and plea for mercy.
When I am in trouble I come to You for the answer.
Your works stand out, You are unique.
Your creation worships You.
You are the One and Only.
Instruct me in Your ways. I am in awe of You.
Thank You for being my God. I give You all the glory.
Your great love sustains me. You are my Deliverer.
Those who do not follow You have risen against me.
Show Your mercy and grace, Your 'always there' love and faithfulness.
Give me strength and keep me safe.
Let those who hate You be shamed because You are my Helper and Comforter.
