Courage to pray

courage-to-pray

What happens when I do not want to be destroyed? Do I confront that fear with worship? I think that is what happens in the Psalms.

We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks to you!
    We proclaim how great you are
    and tell of[b] the wonderful things you have done. But I will never stop speaking of the God of Jacob
    or singing praises to him. – Psalm 75:1,9 GNT

When Judah is facing the armies of Assyria, they called out to God and this was their song. Do I not remember His mercy by the testimonies of those who have gone before me – from those who feared Him? If I have been away from God for a while, this would be a great place to restart my relationship. Doesn’t it give me the courage to pray for His help?
