Psalm 90

1 Chapter: Psalm 90

1 Verse:
Verse 13. Do return, O LORD; how long will it be? and be sorry for Your servants.

1 Prayer: Father, I know there is a returning that I must do. And I know that when I turn and draw near to You, then You draw near to me. I am drawing nearer. Draw me nearer, blessed Lord. I'm sorry I move so slow and my steps are so small. But You aren't that far off anyway, are You? Have mercy. Have pity. Be sorry for me and come close. I need You.

Psalm 89

1 Chapter: Psalm 89

1 Verse:
Verse 47. Remember what my span of life is; for what vanity You have created all the sons of men!

1 Prayer: Father, You knew before You made me that I was bound for futility. So why did You do it? My life span is too long to endure such fruitlessness and too short to overcome it -- and I don't even know how long it is! You know, but I don't. So You've got to do something, because everything I do is born of ignorance and turns to vanity right before my eyes. Empty, meaningless, and hollow is how I feel. I can't feel this way forever, can I?

Psalm 88

1 Chapter: Psalm 88

1 Verse:
Verse 6. You have put me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the depths.

1 Prayer: I guess I shouldn't complain, Father, that You have put me where I am. Assuming You do all things for a reason, there must be good reason for me to be where I am, despite what I might want. But the truth is, Lord, as much as I rail against it, I do want what You have for me. So I'll take the depths and dark places. I'll do my best to praise You in the lowest pit. I'll welcome You here, too.

Psalm 87

1 Chapter: Psalm 87

1 Verse:
Verse 6. The LORD will count when He registers the peoples, "This one was born there." Selah.

1 Prayer: I don't belong here, Father. I feel so out of place tonight. I'm trying to believe that is because my citizenship is in heaven, but You say the kingdom of heaven is at hand -- even within me?!? So why am I feeling so far from home? You say You went away to prepare a place for me. But I feel stuck down here -- like there is no place for me. Please don't leave me like this. Lead me home to You, Father. I am Your runaway son. You are the Father who runs to me. Thank you. I love You.

Psalm 86

1 Chapter: Psalm 86

1 Verse:
Verse 4. Make glad the soul of Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

1 Prayer: My soul is already sunk down, Lord, and the day has barely begun. I have much to do today, and not enough time. Already I'm behind. But, Father, I lift up my soul to You. You know where my soul is weak, where my will is gone, where my joy is faltering. Make me glad about today, not fearful, resentful, hurt, filled with dread. Help me lift my soul to You throughout this day, whatever may come. Help me go about this day as Your servant, not a slave to myself, my desires, my flesh, my selfishness. You alone deserve all the love my soul can muster. Help me love You with all my soul today.

Psalm 85

1 Chapter: Psalm 85

1 Verse:
Verse 8. I will hear what God the LORD will say; for He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; but let them not turn back to folly.

1 Prayer:
If I will listen to what You say, what then will I hear? You speak peace through the blood of Christ, who is our peace, who has broken down every dividing wall of hostility. Why am I still war-torn? Let me not turn back to folly, Father. Let me turn again to You.

Psalm 84

1 Chapter: Psalm 84

1 Verse:
Verse 2. My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

1 Prayer: I'm thankful, Father, that You have made a temple of my heart. I don't have to go anywhere to be nearere to You than You are to me at any and every moment. But even so, my heart and soul and flesh can stray, and turn away from You. Lord, as I gather with Your people today, I want my heart and soul and flesh to sing for joy to You. You are the Living God, who lives in me. You dwell in my heart. You give eternal life to my soul. You put to death the misdeeds of my flesh. Help me to live by Your grace and strength and hope and joy today.
