Psalm 34 when David was a refugee in the wilderness V18 “The Lord is near to the broken-hearted and saves the crushed in spirit” psalm 55 is David’s ode of an oppressed soul. After outlining in his prayer journal his distress In v22 his confidence in God shines through “Cast your burden on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. ” Prayer is not telling God what to do but committing ourselves to Him in trust.
