Psalm 56:3
“But when I am afraid, 
I will put my trust in you.” (NLT)

Some of the best prayers are the simplest. 

This is one of those. It’s quick and easy to memorize, and it certainly comes in handy from time to time. 

A few verses down, we find another quick and easy to memorize prayer, and just as handy whenever it is needed. Take a look at verse 11:

“I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? 
What can mere mortals do to me?”

The worst anyone can do to us leads to the best thing that will ever happen to us. 

Master simple praying. 

Some people pray to impress. Some people need to pray less. (Let the reader understand.) Some people pray amiss. When we pray the psalms, we are praying prayers God thought so highly of that he turned them into holy scripture to teach us how to pray. 

Verse 3 leads us into trust. Verse 11 demonstrates this trust. Trust is a learned behavior. As God has shown himself forever trustworthy with nothing left to prove, we can trust him in all things at all times. 

Keep It Simple, Sweety (KISS). Pray to learn how to trust God. Pray in trust with God.

I will master simple prayer as I learn to trust God in all things.

Our Father, teach me to pray. Amen.
