A Prayer for Life and Death
While Jesus famously spoke these words on the cross, commentators note that David likely prayed this while facing dangers in life. Scholars like Calvin and Spurgeon encourage believers to adopt this as a daily prayer, entrusting their spirit to God not only at the hour of death but amidst all of life's anxieties and trials. It is a profound declaration of trust for any circumstance.
