By David
Train Your Spirit to Pray
This psalm was likely penned before David was king & when his enemies were king Saul and his officials. David seemed to have come to the end of himself in dealing with his enemies here.
Although his enemies have told lies about him, hated him, fought against him without cause, he still tried to love them v4-6. When attempt to win over his enemies failed, David submitted the matter to God, “In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.” Psalm 109:4
David prayed to God for nature to take it’s course: since his enemies were merciless in their dealings with him, hence, may the Lord’s judgement be over them v6-20, 27-29. David then prayed for himself for the Lord’s healing & deliverance for him in his suffering and weakened state due to the attacks from his enemies v21-26, 30-31.
“See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people. Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; Everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit” 1 Thess 5:15-19
Application:
Be a man or a woman of prayer today. True strength and faith is borne in our spirit nursed by the Holy Spirit in our prayer life.
