April 27

Introduction

Today’s reading is in the form of an individual lament and presents the writer as one stricken with a life-threatening illness. The psalm concludes with an affirmation of God’s unchanging love.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Psalm 102

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 102:1 (GNT)

Listen to my prayer, O LORD, and hear my cry for help!

Reflect

The lament is in two parts (verses 1-11 and 23-24), with each part followed by an expression of trust and confidence in God (verses 12-22 and 25-28). How does the psalm writer describe his condition? How does the writer express trust in God? In what ways do you demonstrate your trust in God?

Prayer

Lord God, you live forever and you are always the same. You hear my prayers for help when I cry out to you. Thank you for your never-ending love. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses.
