Daily Bible Reading – March 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of Prayer

DAY 17 OF 31

  

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.

Today’s Reading 

Psalm 69

Reflect

How is the psalm writer’s situation described? Do you sense that the writer is an innocent victim of persecution? Why or why not? How are the writer’s enemies described? What punishment does the writer ask God to inflict on them? Are you able to identify with any of the feelings expressed by the psalm writer?

Pray

God of my salvation, you hear my prayers when I cry out to you for help. You listen and know my needs. Today I ask _______________________________. I place my hope in you, trusting in your promises. With thanks and praise I proclaim your constant love and greatness. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are experiencing pain and despair

Tomorrow’s Reading
