PSALM 61:1-2

Psalm 61:1   ESV   Hear my cry, O God.

                                     listen to my prayer.

As Christian brothers and sisters we have confidence

to enter into the holy places by the blood of Jesus

                                                          see Hebrews 10:19

.....you were washed

     you were sanctified

     you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

                                       and by the Spirit of our God

                                                          1st Corinthians 6:11 ESV

Psalm 61:2 a    ESV

     from the end of the earth I call to you

     when my heart is faint.

The prayer is about real life. So whether the believer is facing

childbirth or redundancy or even death, to have faith that "God with us""

has always been with us, is with us now, and (whatever the circumstances)

will be with us...enables us to turn spontaneously to the God of Abraham,

Isaac and Jacob with the same confidence and hope as the psalmist.

We  make the psalms of David our very own prayers.
