Human Response 868: Pray and Call upon the Lord

Psalm 86:6-7 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer: and arrend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.

In the day of trouble, David prays and calls upon the Lord. He responds to trouble by asking God to hear and answer him. To some degree, every day is a day of trouble as long as we are alive on earth, and we may turn to Him and call every day. Since we are sinners in a sinful world trouble surrounds. But the Lord is there surrounding the troubles of the day.

He is as close to us as our heart and our lips. When we call He answers. The Son of God entered our world of sin and took our sin upon Himself. He sent the Spirit to be with us to hear and answer, and to be with us always. This is Jesus’ promise to us: “Call upon Me in the day of trouble (every day), and I will deliver you.”
