Psalm 62

1 Chapter: Psalm 62

1 Verse:
Verse 8. Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.

1 Prayer: Father, help me trust in You at all times. You know how I am longing for this time to be one of those times when trusting You comes easily. But it doesn't seem to be. Yet, I am pouring out my heart before You, because I trust You enough to believe that You hear and answer. You are my refuge. It is right that I trust in You. Father, help me trust You this time.

Psalm 61

1 Chapter: Psalm 61

1 Verse:
Verse 2. From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

1 Prayer: Father, my heart is faint. I'm calling to You, but my voice is faint, too. Please hear my call. I feel like my whole world is at an end. Where do I go when I've run out of room, when I've gone as far as I can go, when I've reached the limits of this earth and can go no further? I call to You to lead me. You alone know where I am and where I've been and where I'm going. I'm going someplace greater than myself, someplace bigger than this earth, someplace larger than my world. You are the place of strength, security, shelter and rest. You abide forever above it all. Let me abide forever with You.

Psalm 60

1 Chapter: Psalm 60

1 Verse:
Verse 1. O God, You have rejected us; You have broken us; You have been angry; O, restore us.

1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for the hope of restoration. Nothing could be worse than to have been rejected, cast off, rebuffed by God. No one can more perfectly break us than the One who created us. And yet, even in Your anger -- perfect and just and righteous as it is -- You still receive our request. You remember us, You restore us, You put us back together again. You put us back together with You. O, Father, restore us!

Psalm 59

1 Chapter: Psalm 59

1 Verse:
Verse 16. But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning, for You have been my stronghold and a refuge in the day of my distress.

1 Prayer: Father, I'm looking across the dark expanse of this night toward the hope of light in the morning, but it is so hard to tell how the day will rise. Will I awake with a song or a curse? Will I rise to the fond memory of a pleasant dream, or the sour aftertaste of a bitter nightmare? If I wake to the day of my distress, Father, will You be my stronghold and safe place? Help me sing of Your unfailing lovingkindness no matter what tomorrow brings. Yes, I shall joyfully sing.

Psalm 58

1 Chapter: Psalm 58

1 Verse:
Verse 7. Let them flow away like water that runs off; when he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts.

1 Prayer: Father, when lying voices pour out discouragement over me like a deluge, will You please help it roll off my back? When I'm the target of criticism, distraction, defeat, and despair, could you please soften the blow? Take the edge off. I know I need to learn to endure under it, to stand up to it, to not back down from it. But I'm tired and the hits just keep coming. I'm looking to You to keep me on my feet. Thank you.

Psalm 57

1 Chapter: Psalm 57

1 Verse:
Verse 3. He will send from heaven and save me; He reproaches him who tramples upon me. Selah. God will send forth His lovingkindness and His truth.

1 Prayer: Father, my hope is in You this morning. Send from heaven Your lovingkindness and Your truth, and save me. Save me from those who trample me, and save me from trampling on myself. I bear Your reproach for it. Show me how to get out from under condemnation, criticism, rebuke and shame, and to stand instead beneath the over-abundant grace You have for me in Christ. I need Your grace to fall upon me from heaven. And please help me to give the same grace freely to others.

Psalm 56

1 Chapter: Psalm 56

1 Verse:
Verse 8. You have taken account of my wanderings; put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?

1 Prayer: Father, You know where I have wandered. You know how each of those tears in Your bottle got there. You know what tears I'm adding to them tonight, and why. Your bottle runneth over. Please hear and answer. I can't make this happen on my own. I need You. Thank You.
