"Therefore" in the Book of Psalms: Therefore I Will Pray as Long as I Live

"Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live." - Psalm 116:2

The psalmist's reason for a lifelong commitment to prayer is clear: he will continue to pray because he has prayed before and received answers. Witnessing God's past works inspires us to trust Him for the future. Answered prayers encourage more prayer. If I've experienced even one answered prayer, it would be foolish not to take advantage of the privilege of prayer.

I can also testify like the psalmist: He inclined His ear to me, so I have made the same decision—therefore, I will call upon Him as long as I live.
