Today’s Reading (insert text)

Psalm 71

Reflect

How is the life of the psalm writer described? Does the writer feel abandoned by God? Why or why not? How does the writer describe God in verse 3? Have you ever thought of God in these terms? What verses indicate the writer’s trust in God? How will you proclaim God’s goodness, faithfulness, and righteousness today?

Pray

Sovereign God, you are my secure shelter, strong fortress, my refuge and defense. Each day I rely on you, knowing that you are always near and ready to come to my aid. I will tell of your goodness and proclaim your righteousness, power, and might. Amen.
