Psalm 138 is a beautiful illustration of a prayer of thanksgiving. In it, David show us how to express thanks for God’s faithfulness and His protection, as well as the glorious future in store for us. Big Idea: Christians should daily express gratitude and trust in the One who hears our prayers. 7-7-24. Beech Street First Baptist Church in Texarkana. www.beechstreet.org

In Matthew 6:12, Jesus’ model prayer shows us the importance of seeking pardon for sin from the Lord, and in Psalm 51, David’s prayer of repentance teaches us the necessity of not only forgiveness but also asking for cleansing and restoration. 6-30-24.
