I am Poor and Needy

In Psalm 86 David prays, "Hear me Lord for I am poor and needy." This is David, a man after God's own heart. The same David that had so much faith in the Lord that he fought and conquered Bears, Wolves and a Giant without fear. This is the same David that became a great king because of his faith in the Lord. Even with his great faith and success he realized he was powerless without God. That he was in fact "poor and needy." I forget that I am poor and needy and try to do things on my own. Please forgive me Lord, for I am poor and needy. I need you!

Verse 8 states: "Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; Nor are there any works like Your works." I need to remember this, also. Lord, there is none like You.

Verse 12: "I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forever." I want to praise you Lord. Help me praise you with all my heart and glorify You always.

Dear Heavenly Father, I want to be like David and be a man after your own heart.
