Psalms 86:2
Preserve my soul,
for I am godly.
O my God, save your servant
who trusts in you.
The reason why God should answer his prayer is the relationship he has with God. God is his God, the One he trusts and loves. He is God’s worshiper, God’s servant. The prayer of the wicked is an abomination, and God does not hear sinners –
Psalms 66:18; Prov 15:29;28:9; Isa 1:15;John 9:31. But God hears His servants who walk righteously and try to keep His Word.
Another good reason why God should hear him is that he trusts in God. If we trust in ourselves, or in false gods or idols we have no ground for expecting God to answer us. But when our trust is in Him alone He will give us all we need (Psalms 37:5;Mark 11:24; Heb 11:6,32-34).
