"You are my King, O God; command victories for Jacob."
This is an interesting verse (above); and one we can learn from. The psalmist first pledges allegiance to God, as his personal "King"; and then he immediately has the holy "audacity" to ask Him (God) to "command victories for Jacob."
The point is this: God is a Sovereign King that listens to His children. He does not sit in heaven, "protecting" Himself from the intrusions of His churchmen on earth. Instead, He welcomes our prayers; *wants* us to ask Him for things; and almost "entices" us to be as bold as we want to be with Him. All of this is because of God's incredible love for His redeemed people, (in Christ).
