About this episode

In this episode, Dave Jenkins explores Psalm 86, emphasizing the importance of humility in prayer and reliance on God's character.

In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins walks through Psalm 86 and explains how this psalm teaches believers to pray in times of weakness, need, and opposition. Psalm 86 is a deeply personal and humble prayer. David does not rely on his own strength or righteousness but appeals to the character of God, His mercy, steadfast love, and faithfulness. This psalm shows that true prayer begins with humility and grows in confidence as we remember who God is. David moves from pleading for help to praising God's unmatched greatness, asking for guidance, and trusting the Lord even in the face of opposition. His prayer is rooted not in circumstances but in the unchanging nature of God. This episode highlights how believers can pray honestly, depend fully on the Lord, and rest in His gracious care.
