“For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; And attend to the voice of my supplications.”
Psalm 86:5-6 KJV
David was so confident of God providing for him, “Lord, You are so good to me, so kind in every way and ready to forgive, for Your grace-fountain keeps overflowing, drenching all Your devoted lovers who pray to You. God, won’t You pay attention to this urgent cry? Lord, bend down to listen to my prayer.” God is always ready to forgive when we ask for forgiveness and then the provision flows. Jesus taught us to pray, “We acknowledge you as our Provider of all we need each day. Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us.” God’s provision is linked to Him forgiving us and us forgiving those who have offended us. David in the old covenant confidently asked God to hear his supplications and God attended to him. We have the new covenant because our Lord Jesus, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him that was able to save Him from death, was heard in that He feared. That’s why we are anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, we let our requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guards our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Amen!
