Powerful prayers from book three of the Psalms:

The Third book of the Psalms (42-72) contains a great deal of material remembering the powerful works of God and praying for deliverance. There are heavy Exodus vibes throughout the whole section, ending with a powerful song of praise for God's king who will bring redemption. Within the book, there are also some powerful prayers for help amidst some of life's most painful experiences. Psalm 55, for example, records deep feelings of betrayal and the raw emotional response of someone who has been hurt by a friend. Yet the book points us to a solution: Psalm 67 is filled with stubborn and determined belief that God's salvation will prevail in all the earth, and Psalm 72 tells us of a king whose coming will be like "rain that falls on fresh cut grass." No matter where we find ourselves in the full range of life's emotional experiences, we can find hope in Jesus, the savior-king, who comes to deliver.
