March 30
Introduction
Today’s reading is a psalm attributed to David when he hid in a cave to escape his enemies (1 Samuel 22:1; 24:3). The writer is in a state of despair and pleads for help to be released from his distress, promising to praise the goodness of God.
Scripture Reading
Psalm 142
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 142:5
LORD, I cry to you for help; you, LORD, are my protector; you are all I want in this life.
Reflect
What verses speak of the psalm writer’s despair? What does the psalm writer ask of God? In verse 2, the writer states that he brings to God all his complaints and tells God all his troubles. What are your thoughts about complaining to God and telling God your troubles? If you’ve ever done this, how did you feel at the time?
Pray
You, Lord God, are my protector; you are all I want in this life. I thank and praise you for your goodness, and in faith, I know I can tell you my troubles, trusting that you alone can set me free from my distress and surround me with your comforting love. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 143: A prayer for help.
