Psalm 20

Save, Lord!
May the King answer us when we call. v.9

Read chapter 20
"Save, Lord!"  Such a simple and direct prayer.  Throughout this psalm David is asking God to save Israel in some battle going on.  He makes his request and full assurance of God's power and will.  After all these words he uses he ends it so simply and summed up in just two words, "Save, Lord."  Sometimes we need to make our prayers simple and to the point.  To not get caught up in fine speech or let our many words trail off into nothingness or random thoughts and distractions.  God doesn't just answer the "fine speaking" christians as so many thing (maybe not intentionally but with phrases like "Have Tom pray, he's a prayer warrior" or "Molly's a good Christian, you should ask her to pray for this rough situation.).  So let it not be in our brilliance of speech that we think our prayers are answered but shout a praise to the Lord.  'May the king answer us when we call' no matter what words we use or what the situation is.  Do you enjoy group prayer?  Does it intimidate you?  What are you focusing on in times of out loud prayer?  Pray simple today with few words and full trust!
