Abide: Praying the PsalmsSample
PRAYING SCRIPTURE
Psalm 126:1–6
This psalm focuses on the Israelites who returned to Jerusalem from exile (v. 1). Although their suffering had been severe, the return to Jerusalem was filled with joy. The psalmist compared this return to a farmer who sowed seed in tears only to experience great joy in the harvest. Likewise, if you seem to be experiencing a time of exile, remember that God will lead you to a harvest of joy (vv. 5−6). Ask God to help you persevere until that day comes.
