This morning, I woke up to meditate on Ps 86 ... where David cried out to God to hear him and answer him for he was poor and needy. Isnt' this like Matt 5 where it says Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven? He asked the Lord to guard his life for he was devoted to Him. He also asked the Lord to have mercy on Him for he called to him all day long. There was a longing in his heart for joy when he lifted his soul to Him.
The Lord is indeed forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call on Him. In the day of trouble, we can call to Him and He will answer us.
Teach me your ways, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; Give me an undivided heart that I may fear your name. I will praise You, O Lord my God with all my heart, I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love towards me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.
You, O Lord, are compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn to me and have mercy on me, grant me strength and save me. Give me a sign of your goodness that my enemies may see it and be put to shame - for you O Lord have helped me and comforted me.
