In the day of my trouble, I call on you, for you will answer me. (Psalm 86:7)
The Psalmist David, who wrote Psalm 86, was a man who knew a lot about trouble. He was hunted by his enemies, betrayed by his friends, and faced many difficult challenges throughout his life. But even amid his darkest moments, David always turned to God for help.
In Psalm 86:7, David expresses his confidence that God will answer his prayers, even on the day of his trouble. He says, “In the day of my trouble, I call on you, for you will answer me.”
This is a powerful verse that reminds us of God’s faithfulness and love. Even when we are going through difficult times, we can be confident that God is with us and that He will hear our prayers.
