Daily Bible Reading – March 2022: God’s Renewing Word of PrayerSample
March 18
Introduction
This psalm can be read as a concluding component to Psalms 61 and 62 which we read the past two days. These three psalms comprise a trilogy of prayers that focus on trusting in God. In today’s reading, the writer expresses a deep yearning for God and describes the comfort and assurance of being in God’s presence.
Scripture Reading
Psalm 63
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 63:1a
O God, you are my God, and I long for you.
Reflect
What verses in this psalm attest to the psalm writer’s deep longing for God? How is this longing described? The psalm writer states that God’s “constant love is better than life itself” (verse 3). What does God’s constant love mean to you? In what ways do you experience God’s love?
Pray
Sovereign God, my soul thirsts for you. Your constant love is my source of joy and comfort. I cling to you, and your hand keeps me safe. I will give you thanks as long as I live. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 64: A prayer for protection from people who speak hurtful words.
