Psalm 66:20
Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me
Commentary on this verse:
We should declare unto those that fear God, what he has done for our souls, and how he has heard and answered our prayers, inviting them to join us in prayer and praise; this will turn to our mutual comfort, and to the glory of God. We cannot share these spiritual privileges, if we retain the love of sin in our hearts, though we refrain from the gross practice, Sin, regarded in the heart, will spoil the comfort and success of prayer; for the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination of the Lord. But if the feeling of sin in the heart causes desires to be rid of it; if it be the presence of one urging a demand we know we must not, cannot comply with, this is an argument of sincerity. And when we pray in simplicity and godly sincerity, our prayers will be answered. This will excite gratitude to Him who hath not turned away our prayer nor his mercy from us. It was not prayer that fetched the deliverance, but his mercy that sent it. That is the foundation of our hopes, the fountain of our comforts; and ought to be the matter of our praises.

Praying through Psalm 66:5
Our prayer:
Heavenly Father, how we praise and thank You for the wonderful works of Your hand and the awesome deeds that You have done for us. Thank You that Jesus came to redeem us and to die in our place, so that we could be raised into newness of life, and live with You in the eternal ages to come. How awesome are Your works and how great is Your power. All the earth will worship You and sing praises to Your Holy name, for You alone are worthy of our honour and thanksgiving, our worship and praise. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
