How to pray this card

Who prayed it
David
Context
David rebukes men who turn his honour into shame and love vain words (Psalm 4:2). While many ask, “Who will show us some good?”, God has put more joy in his heart than plenty of grain and wine (4:6-⁠7).
  1. Pray with them in the evening, so the words are near when night comes.
  2. Ask God for rest, and for quiet in the thoughts that keep them awake.
  3. Send the verse as a message they can read when sleep will not come.

Close in Jesus' name, and say Amen.
