“Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy” (Psalm 86:1). One day, a clergyman was confronted on his manner of prayer. Prior to that, he was used to saying loud prayers. He later changed to a quiet way of communing with his heavenly Father. When a colleague asked about the change, the clergyman laughed hysterically and replied: “When I was young, I thought it was the thunder that killed people, but when I grew up I discovered it was lightning. So I determined that in the future I would thunder less and lighten more.” David, a man with a penitent heart, knew how best to touch heaven with prayer. He had passed through troubles: he killed a lion and a bear; he escaped being killed by Saul, first king of Israel; he killed Goliath; he suffered a coup plot by his son, Absalom, etc. In each of these circumstances, David was never deterred, for he knew how to get help from God through prayer.
