1 Chapter: Psalm 76
1 Verse: Verse 11. Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them; let all who are around Him bring gifts to Him who is to be feared.
1 Prayer: Father, forgive me for so easily forgetting my commitments to You. Teach me better how to fear You in such a way that the fulfillment of my vows to You -- all my promises of faithfulness, love, adoration, obedience -- comes from the very center of my being, not, as it sometimes seems to now, as if it were some fad only recently taken up and thus rather easily cast aside. I don't want to give You empty words or shifting allegiance -- true at one time and not at another. You are my God for all time, and I want to act like it. Help me be faithful to my vows.

Psalm 75
1 Chapter: Psalm 75
1 Verse: Verse 1. We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, for Your name is near; men declare Your wondrous works.
1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for being near. You are always present and always working, and Your works are always wondrous. They quite literally make me wonder: what are You up to? I know it is all good, but sometimes You seem to be bringing me down, sometimes lifting me up. All I know is that You are close, at hand, intimately involved in all that concerns me and for that I thank You. You alone can be trusted to work all things for good. I trust You today in all things. I love You.
