God's Gang News
Many of King David’s prayers are in the book of Psalms. He thanked and praised God and also asked for help – even he got scared sometimes! David said: Only God can save me; so I'm going to wait for him and not panic. I'm safe with God. He's like a mighty rock, standing firm or a castle with strong walls for protection. Trust God, my friends, and tell him everything that's worrying you. God is a safe place to run to. (Paraphrase of Psalm 62 v1,2,8)
