"But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn to me and have mercy on me; grant Your strength to Your servant and save the son of Your maidservant." Psalms 86:15-16 (NIV)
Because his enemies have gathered together and are after him, King David knows that God is compassionate, gracious, full of love, and full of faithfulness, so he asks The Lord to have mercy on him, and to grant him His strength. He wants God's attention, salvation, and protection because of his special relationship with Him.
As believers we also have a special relationship with The Lord, and we know that He will never leave us or forsake us, regardless of the situation or circumstance. (Deuteronomy 31:6) We know that if we call on Him, He will hear us and answer us. (Psalms 17:6, Psalms 34:17, and Proverbs 15:29) We want God's salvation, deliverance, and protection from whatever negative position that we find ourselves in, and He will help us. All He asks of us is that we would humble ourselves, and pray, and seek Him, and turn from our sinful ways, then He will hear us, answer us, and help us. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
