He says in verse 2, I will cry unto God most high, unto God that performeth all things
for me.
God does a lot for us, and David's recognizing, look, God does a lot for me.
I'm going to cry out to him, and you'll notice throughout this psalm that as he
cries out to God, he has the faith that God is going to hear his prayer and answer him,
because he makes a lot of statements about what he believes God's going to do.
And the Bible says that when we pray, we should ask in faith, nothing wavering.
For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed.
For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.
A double-minded man's unstable in all his ways.
When we pray, we should expect God to answer our prayers.
You know, when I go sowing, I expect people to get saved.
When I preach sermons, I expect people to listen and learn and be edified.
When I pray, I expect God to answer my prayer.
Why?
Because I have faith that God is working in my life, that he's leading me, that
he's going to use me, and so you should have faith when you pray like David here,
where he believes that God's going to perform.
God's going to do what he has promised that he would do.
It says in verse 3, he shall send from heaven and save me.
So he believes that.
He says, look, God is going to bail me out.
