Daily Bible Reading – March 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of PrayerSample
March 17
Introduction
Today’s reading reflects a sense of urgency on the part of the psalm writer who prays to be rescued from his enemies. The writer trusts in the Lord’s love and compassion, and the psalm concludes with words of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 69:13
As for me, I will pray to you, LORD; answer me, God, at a time you choose. Answer me because of your great love because you keep your promise to save.

Reflect
