The Rhythm of Prayer and Praise
Multiple commentators, especially Charles Spurgeon, highlight the immediate shift from praise in the previous verse to prayer here. This isn't a sign of weak faith but the natural rhythm of the Christian life. As Spurgeon colorfully puts it, we 'breathe in' the atmosphere of heaven through prayer and 'breathe it out' in praise. This constant, fluid interchange between petition and praise is what keeps a believer spiritually alive and connected to God through all circumstances.
