By David
Prayer for rescue and prosperity
Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields Ps 144:13
David acknowledges the great goodness of God, and prays for help in verses 1-8. A confession of man’s insignificance was found in vs 3-4. We are so insignificant, only God can deliver us. David turns to God to ask for deliverance (vs5-8) is because of his dependence on God. He depended on God for help. God is like David’s rock, his fortress, and his shield. A rock will not move if there is trouble. In the same way, God will not move. He will always be there to send help. A fortress is a strong building where people are safe in it. In the same way, people are safe with God.
To David, deliverance is more than just being free from troubles and pursue of enemy. True deliverance will bring the blessings of God where there is prosperity and security. He prays for the prosperity of his kingdom from verses 9-15.
We too, may pray for the prosperity of our souls, of our families, and of our land.
Application:
Make the Lord your God (vs15) and be assured of his blessings. Love and obey him as much as you can.
As you come before God to give to him your troubles and ask for his help, move in faith to ask God for his blessings and prosperity.
