How can we balance petitioning God for help while placing our confidence in Him? Today, Emma Dotter is joined by Join The Journey staff member Lauren Atkinson to talk through Psalm 71. David appeals to God’s righteousness and asks for God’s refuge while recounting God’s faithfulness in the past, present and future. This psalm provides a model for how we can pray as we praise God for His character and ask Him to act according to who He is. We know now that David's prayer for salvation and deliverance in God's righteousness is answered fully and finally in Christ.  Additional Scripture mentioned: Colossians 2:9-10, “For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.” 1 Corinthians 1:30, “And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”  Check out Lauren’s previous episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3oYLSsWyw2kTfnYCz7xWyL?si=dcec620db1284013  If you're interested in serving on the Join The Journey Hospitality Team, check out this link: https://www.watermark.org/search/serve?query=Join%20the%20journey  Grab a NEW Join The Journey Journal for 2024: https://a.co/d/7rt0H3g  Got kids?
