Psalm 123

1 Chapter: Psalm 123

1 Verse:
Verse 2. Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, until He is gracious to us.

1 Prayer: Father, You have been gracious. You have already given me more than I deserve, more than I can ask or imagine, more than I can ever feel worthy of receiving. And yet, despite all the grace You have given, I still look to You. I still need more grace. I don't mean to diminish, depreciate or devalue all You have already done for me in Christ. But I am still looking to You, still waiting until You are gracious to me. Is that alright with You? Do You mind if I ask for even more grace? I trust from what You've already been willing to give that perhaps You are not unwilling to give even a little more. If so, then I pray that You have merciful eyes when You look back at me. Because I am looking to You until You are gracious to me. Be gracious to me, Father, please. You know what I need. Thank You, and I love You.

Psalm 121

1 Chapter: Psalm 121

1 Verse:
Verse 7. The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul.

1 Prayer: Father, this sounds almost too good to be true. But I know Your promises are sure. So I want to thank You for keeping my soul. Sometimes it feels lost, cast aside, forgotten. But I know by Your Word that You keep it safe and secure in Your possession forever. I trust You to protect me. But You know how strong my self-protective impulses are. And You know how misguided and misdirected they can be. Please help me to trust You more for the comfort and safety that I need, and not to seek it in other things. Protect me from all evil. Keep my soul.

Psalm 120

1 Chapter: Psalm 120

1 Verse:
Verse 7. I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.

1 Prayer: Father, You are the giver of perfect peace that surpasses understanding. I am in need of it. Silence the voices of war that echo in my life -- voices of an enemy who seeks only to steal, kill and destroy. Yours is the voice I need to hear. I need to hear You speak Your words of comfort and peace to my decimated soul. Prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thank You, Father.

1 Chapter: Psalm 119

1 Verse:
Verse 169. Let my cry come before You, O LORD; give me understanding according to Your word.

1 Prayer: Father, there are so many things I want to understand -- Your word very much being one of them. And yet, I can understand none of them well, unless I know them in Your truth. I need Your truth, Father, to give me understanding.
