“In God, whose word I praise, In the Lord, whose word I praise.” (Psalm 56:10, NASB)
“Many of David’s Psalms contain a pattern …
First, he praises God for His Word … When we love the Word and depend on it daily, ultimately we will praise God for it.
David praises God for being trustworthy. Where did the faith come from? … Where there is faith, there shall not be fear.
David praises God for all the help He has given him … God’s past deliverance was the assurance of His future care and concern.
Is David’s pattern evident in your life? Are you able to praise God in the midst of difficult situations? Praise Him for His Word, His trustworthiness, and His previous help.”

Today I am joining … Scripture & a Snapshot .
I think that’s a helpful pattern we can use as we pray too. Praising God because we know we can trust him with all our worries, and no matter what we are facing.
I love that the Word is mentioned first–because that’s where we learn about God’s trustworthiness and help.
