Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was
in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Psalm 4:1
We must have faith, as David did, that God hears us. Christians depend upon God for much, mostly through our prayers we throw ourselves at His mercy. We trust Him to answer our prayers, to give us relief from distress and to show us mercy. It is a simple verse with simple truths with profound implications. I think, for the most part, we have lost the sense of such dependence.
