Listen Later

In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we dive into Psalm 20, a timeless “Prayer for Victory” that reminds us where true strength comes from. Written by David, this psalm was prayed before battle—asking God to protect, guide, and grant success to His anointed.

We’ll explore three key parts of this powerful passage:

  1. A Blessing for the King (verses 1–5): How prayer unites people in faith and purpose.
  2. Confidence in God’s Response (verses 6–8): Why trust in God outlasts worldly power.
