Psalm 86. David's Prayer

Good afternoon wherever you may be, 

Today in Southern California it is cool and breezy with big clouds floating by!

I am still having pain in my knees. I tried acupuncture on them on Monday. OUCH😣! They still hurt today! Well, let us move on in this blog.

Recently, I have discovered Psalm 86. This psalm is a prayer of David. My next few blogs will focus on this psalm. David starts the psalm asking, "Hear me, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you.You are my 
God; have mercy on me, LORD, for I call to you all day long." These are verses one through three.

If you have been reading my blogs, then you know how much physical pain I have been through in the last ten years. If you are new to my blogs, then I welcome you! I am nine years cancer free! Praise the LORD! I have been through two divorces, cancer treatments, and the effects of playing high school and college football. Let us add in many years of coaching high school football. I know pain.

I love David's Psalms! Here he is, God's anointed one, pleading to the LORD to answer him and guard his life. Do you ever feel like this? In the last fifteen years I have felt like this! Do you call on Him throughout the day and night? I do! 

There is only One who knows you better than you know yourself. The LORD who created you! Why not call on Him? Give Him all your worries! Cry out to Him when you are in distress! 

I encourage you to start reading the Psalms! I know for me, David, whether he was a shepherd or a King, expresses his feelings to the LORD exactly how I feel!

I am HIS,
David Walter Wiseman


And let God's light help you too!
