Thursday, September 26 When I call, answer me, O my righteous God. In the distress you must make broad space for me. Show me favor and hear my prayer.—Ps. 4:1. We can have similar confidence if we practice righteousness. Aware that Jehovah, the “righteous God,” blesses his upright people, we can confidently pray to him through his Son with faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice. (John 3:16, 36) What peace this gives us! At times, we may face a discouraging situation that robs us of confidence. Temporarily, this may have been true of David, for he sings: “You sons of men, how long must my glory be for insult, while you keep loving empty things, while you keep seeking to find a lie?” (Ps. 4:2) The expression “sons of men” evidently refers to mankind in an unfavorable sense. David’s enemies ‘loved empty things.’ Even if we become discouraged because of what others do, let us continue to pray earnestly and manifest complete trust in the only true God. w11 5/15 5:15, 16 wol.jw.org/en/wol/h/r1/lp-e
