A Prayer In The Face Of Fear - Psalm 28

Psalm 28 is a prayer in the face of fear. As David pens this psalm he is filled with fear — fear of judgment, fear of death, fear of God not answering his prayer, fear of being overthrown by the wicked. Amid his fear, David cried out to God in prayer. While he laments his state, he knows, perhaps from previous experience, that one of the best responses to fear is prayer. While prayer is not a magic wand that removes all fears, it does help to redirect our thoughts to the One who can minister to us and help us to grapple with those fears.
