This Psalm is attributed to King David and provides us with an insight into his relationship with His
Heavenly Father in times of trial and also in times of triumph.
The pattern of
all of our lives is that we know the high points and the low points, times of
joy and sorrow as well as of certainty and confusion.
As we study this portion
of God’s word together we can learn from David how to live out our faith in these
different experiences of life.

Application Questions:
- Think for a moment about what it means to you to have God as your light, your salvation and the stronghold of your life. What difference does this make to how you face the trials and triumphs you experience?
- Do you pray in good times and in bad, or just when things are difficult? Why do you think that is the case and what can you do over the next week to start to deepen your prayer life?
- Are you a patient person or are you someone who finds waiting difficult? How do you fill your time while you wait on God to answer your prayer? Consider whether this is the best way to use the time of waiting and, if it is not, think about the practical steps you can take to make times of waiting effective.
