Psalms 86:8

"In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me."

Key Reflection

This verse speaks of unwavering trust in God during trials, expressing that when facing difficulties, one turns to God with confidence that He will respond and provide assistance. It underscores a habitual reliance on divine intervention in times of need.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord -Among all those which are worshipped as gods there is no one that can hear and save. The psalmist, in respect to prayer, and to help to be obtained by prayer, compares his own condition with that of those who worshipped false gods. He had a God who could hear; they had none. A true child of God now in trouble may properly compare his condition in this respect with that of those who make no profession of religion; who do not profess to worship God, or to have a God. To him there is a throne of grace which is always accessible; to them there is none. There is One to whom he may always pray; they profess to have no one on whom they can call.
