In your day of trouble, may the Lord be with you.

May the God of Jacob keep you from all harm!

May He send you aid from His sanctuary in Zion.

May He remember with pleasure the gifts you have given Him, your sacrifices and burnt offerings. May He grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your plans.

May there be shouts of joy when we hear the news of your victory, flags flying with praise to our God for all that He has done for you. May He answer all of your prayers!

-Psalm 20:1-6

From the beginning of time man has wrestled with the tragedies of trouble. From national calamities threatening his existence to personal trials terrorizing his soul, man has struggled to endure the suffering and heartache of his troubled times.

Evans shows how this simple prayer can alter your life, and even the course of world events. If life has you in the grip of trouble and you don’t know what to do or how to pray, why not try The Prayer of David?

His most famous special "Let My People Go!" spotlighted Natan Sharansky, who was at the time in a gulag in Russia.

This review is from: The Prayer of David: In Times of Trouble (Hardcover)

This book was a great inspiration to me spiritually. His love for the Psalms helped me to gain a more intimate walk with God by reading the Psalms in a much more personal way. I was richly blessed spiritually by his faith and love for God, Israel and the Scriptures. His knowledge and understanding of world events and leaders is tremendous. This book helped me to focus on my own prayer life and how better to pray for the USA, our leaders, the world and Israel. I am very thankful to God that I read this book and want to encourage others to read it.

I've read several of Mike's books, and this is by far his best. It was absolutely riveting. When I finished it, I immediately passed it on to a friend...can't wait to get it back so I can read it again. This one is definitely worth investing your time and money in.
