Respond by posting a prayer .

Psalm 71:4-6

4 My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked; rescue me from the grip of the wrongdoer and the oppressor 5 because you are my hope, Lord. You, LORD, are the one I’ve trusted since childhood. 6 I’ve depended on you from birth you cut the cord when I came from my mother’s womb. My praise is always about you.

I long for a prayer life like the psalmist’s. I long for an abiding trust in God that allows me to be so frank. I want a boldness that permits me to be so direct. I desire an intimacy that leads to prayer that is more conversation than words in...

Dear God, let all my words to you be honest and true. Open my ears to hear your responses, equally honest and true. Rescue me. And my praise will be continually of you. Amen.
