I will praise the LORD!

Reading: Psalm 70

For the director of music. Of David. A petition.

Hasten, O God, to save me;
    come quickly, LORD, to help me.
May those who want to take my life
    be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
    be turned back in disgrace.
May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
    turn back because of their shame.
But may all who seek you
    rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
    “The LORD is great!”
But as for me, I am poor and needy;
    come quickly to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
    LORD, do not delay. *

I will praise the LORD!

Reading: Psalm 69:29-33

But as for me, afflicted and in pain—
    may your salvation, God, protect me.
I will praise God’s name in song
    and glorify him with thanksgiving.
This will please the LORD more than an ox,
    more than a bull with its horns and hooves.
The poor will see and be glad—
    you who seek God, may your hearts live!
The LORD hears the needy
    and does not despise his captive people. *

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

Reading: Psalm 56:1-7

LORD God,
right now I put my faith and trust in you.
By the blood of Jesus,
you forgive all my sins
and have paid the price for my redemption.
When I am afraid,
I turn to you, Lord.
I put my trust in you alone.
Amen.

When evening came,
his disciples went down to the lake,
where they got into a boat
and set off across the lake for Capernaum.
By now it was dark,
and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing
and the waters grew rough.
When they had rowed about three or four miles,they saw Jesus approaching the boat,
walking on the water;
and they were frightened. But he said to them,
“It is I;
don’t be afraid.”
(John 6:16-20)*

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

Reading: Psalm 55:16-23

LORD God,
I cast my worries and cares on you.
I am so thankful you care
about the details of my life.
With the psalmist, David, I can say,
“But as for me, I trust in you.”
Amen.

— — —

“Therefore I tell you,
do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or drink;
or about your body,
what you will wear.
Is not life more than food,
and the body more than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?
Can any one of you by worrying
add a single hour to your life^[a]?
(Matthew 6:25-27)*

Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.

T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home
(Lead us home)
And Grace will lead us home.

Reading: Psalm 46:8-11

LORD God,
alter me at the foot of the cross.
I need you to change my heart,

This is what the Sovereign LORD,
the Holy One of Israel, says:

“In repentance and rest is your salvation,
    in quietness and trust is your strength,
    but you would have none of it.

You said,
‘No, we will flee on horses.’
    Therefore you will flee!
You said, ‘We will ride off on swift horses.’
    Therefore your pursuers will be swift!
