Show Summary
In today’s episode, Dave Jenkins walks through Psalm 3, a psalm written during one of the darkest moments in David’s life as he fled from Absalom. Psalm 3 teaches us how to pray when troubles rise and fear whispers that God has forsaken us. This is not a lament of despair, but a confession of trust in the Lord who shields, sustains, and saves His people.
