In Psalm 28, the psalmist David provides a prayer of thanksgiving and supplication. Among other topics, David acknowledges God's faithfulness to His people, His provision in times of need, and His deliverance from enemies. Let's take time to reflect on David's perspective and draw inspiration for our own prayer lives.
