—Psalm 25:1-10
by: Cheri Appel.
At 8 years old, Josiah was king! Perhaps his mother, the recorded parent, advised him to be like David. Psalm 25 may have guided Josiah to be “a man after God’s own heart.” Note this psalm’s excellent pattern for prayer: lifting ourselves to God, confirming we trust Him; asking His protection against sin; confirming we will wait on Him; asking Him to teach and lead us; confirming He is our Savior; confirming His compassion and loving kindness; asking His forgiveness; praising Him for His instruction, truth, and justice; and confirming we will keep His covenant and testimonies. May our prayer results be like Josiah’s.
