**Psalms 72:20** — *"Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse."*
A single closing line. No fanfare. No final sermon. Just a quiet editorial note marking the end of a collection — and yet it carries the weight of an entire life poured out before God.
David's prayers were not always triumphant. They were desperate, repentant, exultant, raw. Laments sat beside doxologies. Doubt walked alongside covenant trust. And Scripture preserves all of it — the whole unedited arc — as worthy.
There is mercy in that. Your prayers do not need to be polished to be received. The shepherd-king who danced before the ark and wept in the wilderness was heard in both postures.
Let us reflect on what it means to conclude *anything* faithfully — a season, a grief, a chapter — knowing that God who received David's prayers receives yours with equal attentiveness.
Walk with that assurance today.
