How to Pray in a Crisis (9 of 9)
Series: Life Is Hard but God Is Good

Psalm 143
If you have your Bible, please turn to Psalm 143. For the last several weeks, we've been in the Book of Psalms in a series that I entitled, ''Life Is Hard, But God Is God.'' I think that's a good summation of the psalms. And today, we're going to finish this series with a message I've entitled, ''How to Pray in a Crisis.''
David is not the sole author of all 150 psalms, but he authored many of the psalms. He's known as the sweet psalmist of Israel; David, a man after God's own heart. And I think what many people love about David - I know what I love about David - is David is so honest about what he's going through in life. The psalms are just raw life. It's just emotions and feelings and this is what's going on but yet I'm going to trust You, God. David was a man who was greatly blessed. When you think of David, he starts out as a little shepherd boy. He's the eighth son of his father, Jesse. His father, Jesse, doesn't really think highly of him, which is kind of incredible to consider. But, we know he doesn't think highly of him because when Samuel the prophet said to Jesse, ''God has chosen one of your sons to be the next king,'' well, Jesse doesn't even invite David to the feast. He said, ''Well, there's no way he's chosen David. He's just the youngest.'' But David was the guy. David was the one. David is this guy that loves the LORD. David is this person of tremendous faith, and God blessed him so much. When David is finally enthroned as king over all Israel, he's 37 years old. You know, he's probably 12 years old or so when Samuel anointed him to be the next king. Finally, at 37 it comes to pass. He goes in before the LORD, and he said, ''LORD, who am I, and what is my father's house, that You have brought me this far?'' He's just blown away, because David knows he's just a nothing nobody. That's all of us. We're just nothing nobodies before the Lord. But Go ...
