Scripture/Text: Psalm 86:1-17; Pastor Phill teaches us that Psalm 86 is a song about Amazing Grace that is found in Jesus. He then illustrates that the statement “Of David” found at the beginning of this psalm is the most confusing and surprising aspect of this passage. He then answers the two questions: (1) What is David praying? (2) Why is David praying?

Discussion Questions:
    1. What is the significance that this prayer is from David?
    2. What kind of prayer is David praying? How does this help us know God and help us to pray?
    3. What is the importance of praying different kinds of prayers? Why do you think we should regularly pray prayers of praise?
    4. How does our growth under who God is increase our prayer life?
    5. What is the purpose of praying prayers of petition to God last, in the order mentioned (praise, confession/lament, and then requests)?
    6. How does Psalm 86 give us hope of the coming King?
