Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.
Psalm 41_1

Reading: Psalm 41:1-6

LORD God,
forgive me for when I have looked down
on others in need.
Open my eyes to someone I may help today.
Help me to be a blessing.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen.

— — —

[Jesus speaking]
“Be careful not to practice your righteousness
in front of others to be seen by them.
If you do, you will have no reward
from your Father in heaven.

“So when you give to the needy,
do not announce it with trumpets,
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues
and on the streets,
to be honored by others.
Truly I tell you,
they have received their reward in full.
But when you give to the needy,
do not let your left hand know
what your right hand is doing,
so that your giving may be in secret.
Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you.
(Matthew 37:3-6), NIV)*

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.
Psalm 40_11-17 -365

Reading: Psalm 40:11-17

LORD God,
Thank you for your gifts of grace
and favor over the years.
I need you as I face the days ahead.
Equip me with divine grace and ability
for each day through the love and power of Jesus.
Amen.

— — —

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him
in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
in order that in the coming ages
he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,
expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith—
and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God—
not by works,
so that no one can boast.
For we are God’s handiwork,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.
(Ephesians 2:6-10), NIV)*

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.Psalms 39_7-9a

Reading: Psalm 39:6-13

LORD God,
I need your saving help.
Through the redemptive blood of Jesus
keep me from being trapped
and controlled by my transgressions.
I need your presence in my life
so I can make the most of my days.
May your Kingdom rule extend to me
and through me to others.
Amen.

— — —

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying
and singing hymns to God,
and the other prisoners were listening to them. 
Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake
that the foundations of the prison were shaken.
At once all the prison doors flew open,
and everyone’s chains came loose. 
The jailer woke up,
and when he saw the prison doors open,
he drew his sword and was about to kill himself
because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 
But Paul shouted,
“Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”

The jailer called for lights,
rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 
He then brought them out and asked,
“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

They replied,
“Believe in the Lord Jesus,
and you will be saved—
you and your household.” 
Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him
and to all the others in his house. 
At that hour of the night the jailer took them
and washed their wounds;
then immediately he
and all his household were baptized. 
The jailer brought them into his house
and set a meal before them;
he was filled with joy
because he had come to believe in God—
he and his whole household.
(Acts 16:25-34), NIV)*

I will praise the LORD!Psalm 118_27a (1)

Reading: Psalm 65:1-4

For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.

Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion;
    to you our vows will be fulfilled.
You who answer prayer,
    to you all people will come.
When we were overwhelmed by sins,
    you forgave our transgressions.
Blessed are those you choose
    and bring near to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,
    of your holy temple. *

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.Psalm 39_1-5 -365

Reading: Psalm 39:1-5

LORD God,
show me your ways.
Show me how much I need you day by day.
Help me to value every day
you give me on this earth.
Shine your light in me and through me
by the power of Jesus.
Amen.

— — —

The true light
that gives light to everyone
was coming into the world.
He was in the world,
and though the world was made through him,
the world did not recognize him.
He came to that which was his own,
but his own did not receive him.
Yet to all who did receive him,
to those who believed in his name,
he gave the right to become children of God—
children born not of natural descent,
nor of human decision or a husband’s will,
but born of God.
(John 1:9-13), NIV)*

by David Kitz.Psalm 38_1-8 -365

Reading: Psalm 38:1-8

LORD God,
I thank you for Jesus.
I am thankful
that I can put my complete trust in you.
You forgive me and cleanse me
from all my sins.
I am saved by your amazing grace
not by my effort.
Amen.

— — —

 But because of his great love for us,
God, who is rich in mercy,
made us alive with Christ
even when we were dead in transgressions—
it is by grace you have been saved.
And God raised us up with Christ
and seated us with him in the heavenly realms
in Christ Jesus,
in order that in the coming ages
he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,
expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you have been saved,

and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God—
not by works, so that no one can boast.
For we are God’s handiwork,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.
Psalm 37_39

Reading: Psalm 37:35-40

LORD God,
I thank you for Jesus.
I am thankful I can put my complete trust in you.
I am saved by your amazing grace
not by my effort.
Hallelujah!
Lord Jesus,
you are the way, the truth and the life
(John 14:6).
Amen.

— — —

 Since you call on a Father
who judges each person’s work impartially,
live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.
For you know that it was not with perishable things
such as silver or gold
that you were redeemed from the empty way of life
handed down to you from your ancestors,
but with the precious blood of Christ,
a lamb without blemish or defect.
He was chosen before the creation of the world,
but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
Through him you believe in God,
who raised him from the dead and glorified him,
and so your faith and hope are in God.
(1 Peter 1:17-21), NIV)*

Reading: Psalm 63:6-11

On my bed I remember you;
    I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help,
    I sing in the shadow of your wings.
I cling to you;
    your right hand upholds me.
Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;
    they will go down to the depths of the earth.
They will be given over to the sword
    and become food for jackals.
But the king will rejoice in God;
    all who swear by God will glory in him,
    while the mouths of liars will be silenced. *

by David Kitz.Psalm 37_30-34 -365

Reading: Psalm 37:30-34

LORD God,
we live in a very troubled world.
When evil rises,
we put our trust in you.
Help me to walk in the way of love.
Surround me with your peace.

I pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

“Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness.
Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped
beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt,
and serve the LORD. 
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you,
then choose for yourselves this day
whom you will serve,
whether the gods your ancestors served
beyond the Euphrates,
or the gods of the Amorites,
in whose land you are living.
But as for me and my household,
we will serve the LORD.”
(Joshua 24:14-15), NIV)*
