Daily Bible Reading – April 2021, God’s Word of Mercy and ForgivenessSample
April 30
Introduction
Today’s reading opens with a cry for help and concludes with an affirmation of trust in God.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Psalm 130
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 130:5 (GNT)
I wait eagerly for the LORD’s help, and in his word I trust.
Reflect
How does the writer describe God (verses 3, 4)? What verses express hope and trust in God?
How will you express your hope and trust in God today? What does this psalm teach you about God?
Pray
Lord God, you hear my prayers when I cry out to you for help. Thank you for your mercy and forgiveness. I trust in your Word and in your steadfast love and care. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those in despair who are crying out to God for help.
