When we pray, we approach God with the confidence that He hears us, but also with the humility to recognize His faithfulness and righteousness. The psalmist cries out, asking God to hear his prayer and answer in His faithfulness. We are reminded that God is not only able to hear our prayers but is also faithful to respond. His answers are always aligned with His righteousness, which means that He will always respond in a way that is just and good. We may not always understand why or how He answers, but we can trust that His righteousness governs all His decisions. In moments of doubt, we can call upon God's faithfulness, knowing that He will never fail us. Prayer is not only about asking for help but also about resting in the assurance that God listens to our supplications. As we pray, we acknowledge that God's faithfulness is a constant in our lives, and we can find comfort in His righteousness.
Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Philippians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Colossians 4:2
Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
