Cael yr apDaily Bible Reading – March 2022: God’s Renewing Word of PrayerSampl
March 12
Introduction
The opening verses of this psalm affirm God’s care for those who are poor and sick and that those who are concerned about them will be blessed (happy). Verses 4-12 are the writer’s personal lament for forgiveness and healing, and the psalm concludes with a doxology (praise to God).
Scripture Reading
Psalm 41
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 41:4
I said, “I have sinned against you, LORD; be merciful to me and heal me.”
Reflect
What is the psalm writer’s prayer (verse 4-12)? What verses express the writer’s trust in God? The collection of 150 psalms in the Bible (referred to as the Psalter) is divided into five books, and Psalm 41 closes Book One. Each closing psalm in the Psalter concludes with a doxology (an expression of praise) like the last verse in this psalm (verse 13). What will be your doxology today?
Pray
Lord God, in your mercy, forgive me my sins and renew my strength each day. Heal me when I am ill and keep me secure in the shelter of your love and in your presence. I will praise you now and forever. Amen! Amen!
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 55: The prayer of someone betrayed by a friend.
