David’s prayer creates a glorious image of God. “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty (1 Chronicles 29:11).”
Give thanks to God for His incomprehensible greatness.
Those who learn to trust God when love shines bright
Also trust God when day seems as dark as night.
Give thanks to God that we can trust and pray in the night and in the day.

We can do so little. God can do so much. That’s why we pray.
The righteous cry and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles (Psalm 34:17).
Jehoahaz did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. So the Lord was very angry and he allowed him to be defeated repeatedly.
Then Jehoahaz prayed for the Lord’s help, and the Lord heard his prayer and provided someone to rescue him (Read the whole story in 2 Kings 13:1-9).
The Lord’s mercy is abundant.
There was excitement in my mom’s voice when I called. She just read Psalm 149:4, “The Lord takes pleasure in His people.” She said, “That’s me. The Lord takes pleasure in me.”
Think about that as you pray. The Lord takes pleasure in you.
A wise friend told me, “The Sovereign Lord wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught (Isaiah 50:4).”
When He wakes her, she wonders, “What do you have for me today, Lord?”
Then she opens her Bible and reads, ready to respond to whatever He says.
The Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words, according to the will of God (from Romans 8:26-27)
Our Heavenly Father listens to the Spirit’s prayers. For those who love God all things work together for good (Romans 8:28).
The Lord looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).
Consider this as you pray.
The Lord knows what we’re going to say, even before we say it. But he still bends down to listen to us pray (see Psalm 139:4; 116:2).
The Lord listens so well; may He hear us praise His name!
I call to God and he hears my voice (from Psalm 55:16-17).
We pray to One who listens.
