Sometimes when we pray, we can get a little bit selfish because we only pray about the things that we need.

But when you really discover God in prayer, you not only pray for yourself and praise God for how He answers,

but you just begin to pray for everybody else to.

Now, let's join Kurt for today's episode. Hey, friends, welcome back. We are in Psalm 28 today. I think

most of you know by now, we're just covering the first book of Psalms. Psalms, the entire book of Psalms, is divided into five

sections or five books, and book number one is Psalm 1 through Psalm 41. So we're on Psalm 28

right now, making great progress. And I think we'll get the whole psalm in so let's just begin

in verse number one where the Bible says unto thee will I cry oh lord my rock Psalm of David and as has been

the case over the past few Psalms we don't really know what the particular occasion

is for David's prayer, but this is indeed a prayer. Unto thee, will I cry, O Lord, my rock? So there's the

passion. David is crying out to God, and he sees God as his stability. He sees God

always comes back to my mind when I think about rocks. I think about Israel. Everywhere you look,

there's rocks. Everything's built out of rocks and built out of stones. And so the idea of God

And so David comes to God, says, oh God, my rock, O Lord, my rock, be not silent to me,

lest if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit, or go down into the grave.

So the idea is David said, God, I'm calling to you.

You're my hope. You're my rock. You're my foundation. Please listen to me. I don't want to be like
