Introduction

Scripture Reading

Psalm 55

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 55:22

Leave your troubles with the LORD, and he will defend you; he never lets honest people be defeated.

Reflect

The opening verses express the psalm writer’s plea for God to hear his prayer. In the following verses, describe what the writer is feeling. Verses 12-14 are addressed to the writer’s companion. What does the writer say? What does he say about his companion in verses 20 and 21? Have you ever experienced a time when you felt betrayed by someone you trusted? If so, how did you handle the situation?

Pray

Hear my prayer, Almighty God. I turn my worries and anxieties over to you, trusting in your love and mercy. Whenever I call upon you for help, I know you listen and hear my prayer. You, Lord God, have ruled from eternity and watch over all your faithful people. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading
