1 Chapter: Psalm 83
1 Verse: Verse 1. O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
1 Prayer: Father, we want to hear You. We want to see You move. We know that You are the Living God, that You are near, that You are always working. We know that we must walk by faith and not sight. We know that it is an adulterous generation that seeks a sign. Yet, it would be nice if we might every once in a while, every so often, see and hear and feel You in a decisive way. I know You have Your reasons. And I know they're much better than mine. But I also know that You remember me in my weakness. I know You condescend to my infirmity. I know You dwell with and within me. Help me be faithful and patient and trusting regardless of what I may happen to see or hear or feel today. I love You all the same.

Psalm 82
1 Chapter: Psalm 82
1 Verse: Verse 8. Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is You who possesses all the nations.
1 Prayer: Father, You are the only righteous judge. Everything in this world is Yours to do with as You see fit. You own every person, every ruler, every nation -- God bless Venezuela, Iran, America, North Korea, Iraq, Israel, China, Cuba, Thailand, Jordan, Sudan, Syria, Saudi Arabia. . . No nation is sovereign. No nation is more "Yours" than any other. For in all places everywhere Your love is undiminished by nationality, political creed, religion, race, age, gender, military power, industrial might, economic strength. We judge by such superficial standards, Lord, and create wars where there need be none. We need Your good judgment -- perfectly expressed in the person of Jesus Christ -- to arise over all the earth. Help me today to be the best representative of His kingdom -- my home country -- I can possibly be.

1 Verse: Verse 13. "Oh that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!"
1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for making me one of Your people. I know I'm not always a good listener, and I sometimes walk my own way. But I'm so very thankful that You don't forsake me because of it. I'm thankful that even despite my stopped-up ears and my wayward feet, You still call me one of Your own. Forgive me for straying. Forgive me for paying attention to lying voices. Help me to hear You, and listen. Help me know Your ways, and walk in them.

Psalm 78
1 Chapter: Psalm 78
1 Verse: Verse 38. But He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them; and often He restrained His anger and did not arouse all His wrath.
1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for being compassionate. Thank You for forgiving my rebellion and restraining Your anger. I would be destroyed by Your wrath if You did not relent.

Psalm 77
1 Chapter: Psalm 77
1 Verse: Verse 13. Your way, O God, is holy; what god is great like our God?
1 Prayer: Father, help me to know Your way. To say that it is holy seems as if to say it is inscrutable, ineffable, and wholly other. It keeps me up at night. It makes me sigh. It makes me cry. It troubles and disturbs and discomforts me. It makes me wonder. Will You do great things again? Will You do them today? If You do, will I recognize them? If You don't, will I seek after some other way? Lord, You alone are holy. No other god is great like You. Your way is holy and great. Even when Your way seems too much for me, You will still make a way for me. I love You.
