Psalm 65:1-4 Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled. O you who hear prayer, to you all men will come. When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions. Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.
What initially struck me in this psalm is that in it David doesn't say anything is wrong with him. There is no complaining, no crying out for help, no telling about what evil men might do to him, he is simply praising God. The psalm goes on telling how good God is, how He provides for even the natural world. This is a mindset that I need to have more consistently. I, like many people, tend to worry about things, and my prayers reflect that. They are often more of the "crying out" kind than the "praising God" kind. I'm going to take more time out of my day to praise God, and I hope you will as well.
