Psalm 31:5 Into Your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
King David had plenty of things to be afraid of in his life and not just the enemies from other countries but from inside his own family as well.
David did not turn round and blame God every time things went wrong; he instead asked for help, guidance and protection.
And it was not just his physical protection he prayed for but his spiritual protection as well.
As Christians we stand against a very real enemy and need God’s constant protection.
