David;s evening prayer. Refers to his quiet time and prayers
Condition of David.

Tips used by Prophet David for complete rest
1. Pray before sleeping (1) Ask God to reply our prayers
When I have reached the lowest, God please open a new way for me
Ask God for mercy and to listen to our prayers.
(We cannot help or protect ourselves when sleeping,
so David asks God to be the one who protects him)
2. Do not listen to lies but listen to the bible.
(2) How long will you people turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?
(3) Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself.
The Lord hears when I call Him.
( The bible speaks the truth, so we should read the bible instead)
3. Do not carry your anger and grudges to bed
(4) Tremble and do not sin when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
(5) Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the Lord.
When we are disturbed for the first time, we may not be affected emotionally
but we may keep it in our hearts and when it happens again and again, it
may manifest and make us explode in anger ( still in anger Ephesians 4: 26
Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry)
4. Thanking God, not complaining and being bitter
(6) Many, Lord, are asking. "Who will bring us prosperity?"
Let the light of your face shine on us.
(7) Fill my heart with joy
when their grain and new wine abound.
(Count your blessings, thanking God and
not thinking or asking about what we don`t have)
5. Trust in the Lord and nothing else
(8) In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety.
