**Psalms 3:7** — *"Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked."*
David didn't soften his prayer. He didn't dress it in polite language or apologize for the raw edges of his desperation. He was fleeing his own son, surrounded by those who declared God had abandoned him — and he prayed *teeth and jawbones.*
This is the covenant freedom Scripture grants us: to bring the unfiltered weight of our circumstances before the Shepherd who already knows. David's boldness wasn't irreverence — it was trust. He believed God was both willing and able to act.
There is something worth stewardship here — the practice of *honest* prayer over *polished* prayer. The Father who numbered your days can surely bear the full truth of them.
Walk with David into that kind of unguarded trust today.
