Psalm 143:1
“Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 143Meaning
The opening grounds the plea in God's character, not the speaker's leverage.
Read carefully
The verse appeals to God's character; it does not make prayer a mechanism for controlling outcomes.
Reflection
Ask boldly while rooting hope in God's character rather than treating prayer as a claim of control.
