Urgency in Prayer

 

"Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!" - Psalm 38:22

David was in great trouble: loved ones and friends had left him, and those who hated him had multiplied. This sorrow brought fervency to his prayer. He could not tolerate a delayed answer to prayer; he wanted the Lord to make haste to help him.

When our only hope is in the Lord, when we do not expect help from anywhere else, when we cannot accept a negative answer to prayer, we will pray with the same fervor.
