‘A Night Prayer’

What do you do on a restless night?

It seemed like a group of people had turned against King David and God. In this prayer of David’s we find a path that we can follow … when we put our trust in his King … Jesus.

There are 2 key words to remember here. The first one is ‘know’. If we know God, and this comes through faith in Jesus Christ, we can be confident that he will hear us when we cry out to him. Much like how we respond to our own children.

The second key word to remember is ‘trust’. We can entrust the situation or circumstances that are causing us restlessness to God. This is done in the knowledge that he is the one who is in control … even when from our perspective things aren’t working out.  It is God’s work to enact justice because he is perfectly righteous and always in total control, including at the cross.
