This week, we're taking a look at the opposite of Psalm 23 at a imprecatory Psalm.

And while she wasn't about to go key his car, she did turn to the Lord in prayer and, But her prayers may have not sounded quite the way that you would think they may have.

And I pray God that on his drive to work today, you would give him only red lights and I pray Lord that whenever he has lunch, his food would never be salty enough.

When he showers Lord Jesus, would the water pressure not quite be hard enough? And would the temperature not quite be warm enough? And may Vincent always feel like he's just got something stuck in his teeth.

Now, if church is new to you, you might be surprised that there are prayers, something like that in the Bible and actually prayers that go far beyond that yet.

So this morning, I want to, we're going to take a look at Psalm 69 verses 19 to 33.
