Psalm 27

1 Chapter: Psalm 27

1 Verse:
Verse 13. I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

1 Prayer: Thank you, Father, for the miraculous wonder of a gift that is faith. Small as a mustard seed though it may be, it is the one thing that keeps me from complete and utter despair. Increase my faith today, Lord, as I trust in You. Help me to imagine ways that I might see Your goodness in this life and in this place and amongst this people.

Psalm 26

1 Chapter: Psalm 26

1 Verse:
Verse 12. My foot stands on a level place; in the congregations I shall bless the LORD.

1 Prayer: Father, if I stand, it is only because of You. You are my level place, my secure footing, my foundation, the Rock that never shifts, shakes, falters or fails. I don't have a leg to stand on. I am weak, weary, wounded, wobbly and woebegone. Yet You support me, You sustain me, You hold me up and do not let me fall. What else can I do but praise and thank You?

Psalm 25

1 Chapter: Psalm 25

1 Verse:
Verse 7. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your lovingkindness remember me, For Your goodness' sake, O LORD.

1 Prayer: Thank you, Father, for remembering me, and for not remembering my sins, even though they sometimes seem to be the most memorable part of me. Thank you for remembering me even when I sometimes forget you in the busy-ness of my day, the weakness of my flesh, the selfishness of my heart. Thank you for remembering me not according to the judgment I deserve for my forgetfulness but according to Your lovingkindness.

Verse 24. For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.

1 Prayer: Thank you, Father, for not shrinking away in horror from the pain, suffering and distress of Your people. If You hid Your face, it would only compound our misery.
