It is true that sometimes you and I can feel so down because words of fear and discouragement have gotten into our minds. Listen to the words of King David in Psalm 3. He says, “Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. Many are they who say of me, there is no help for him in God.“

But David was a man of prayer; he knew enough to turn to God and verse 4 of Psalm 3 says, “I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill.“

Now what’s the evidence that God hears us? Listen to what God did for King David. He says, “Oh but you oh Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.” My brother, my sister, I am telling you with a promise from the word of God: if you will begin to pray, if you will begin to cry out to God, even when you feel discouraged, He will be the lifter of your head.

It’s time to pray!
