We Are To Look To Jesus And Make Our Requests Known

 Like so many of the Psalms that were penned by David, this is a song which begins with him bitterly lamenting over his mounting distresses and weeping over life's cruel circumstances. However, it ends with him glorifying God and offering thanksgiving and praise for His goodness and grace.
 David came to understand that we are to rejoice in the Lord and in the power of His might, and that in everything by prayer and supplication We Are To Look To Jesus And Make Our Requests Known to the Lord. God knows all our needs because He is our Father Who delights to hear His children come to Him in trusting dependence for every eventuality of life.
 Like David, we must never forget that our times are in His hands and that the day is coming when God will put all wrongs to right, and so we discover that David was finally able to confess: "But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness. My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, because He has dealt bountifully with me."
 One of the vital lessons of life we all must learn is that when God is given His rightful place in our lives, we too will be given the sufficient strength to live godly in Christ Jesus and will be enabled to rejoice in the Lord always and to sing praises to His holy name, even in our distresses and pain. He is our God and our hearts shall rejoice.
Psalm 13:5  But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we trust in You and thank You that there are no circumstances of life that You do not know about. Thank You that in all things we are more than  conquerors through Christ Who loved us and gave Himself for us. May we rejoice in the Lord at all times and in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make our requests known to You for we have trusted in Your loving-kindness and our hearts rejoice in God our Savior. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
