Simplicity

As I was reading the Psalms recently, I came across a line of Scripture in Psalm 22:21 that simply reads: “You have answered me.” After praying for strength, help and deliverance from his enemies, David suddenly realized that God had answered his request. Sometimes, it really is that simple—we pray, and God answers right then and there. It’s so easy to complicate prayer, but let’s try to keep it simple. The more we see these quick answers, the more I believe we will be moved to worship just like the psalmist who wrote in Psalm 118:21: “I will praise You, for You have answered me.” Now that’s something to pray about!
