1 Chapter: Psalm 135
1 Verse: Verse 6. Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
1 Prayer: Father, we are praying that You would do as we please. We're praying that whatever pleases You would also please us. You chose to be our Father. You chose to be a Father who hears. And so we are praying, knowing that You are listening. And we're wondering what You are doing, what You are going to do. Please, Father, may You in Your grace and wisdom grant us what we ask in such a way that we are both pleased -- You and us. If this thing we're asking for pleases You, then we know it will be done. Father, we're asking in faith, trusting in Your good pleasure, that You would be pleased to hear and answer and grant our request. We love You!

Psalm 132
1 Chapter: Psalm 132
1 Verse: Verse 14. "This is My resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for resting Your Spirit upon me forever. You dwell in me as I abide in You. I don't understand how You do it. I can't comprehend why You do it, except that You love me. You have desired to be with me, within me, close to me forever. Even before I desired to be near You, You had given Your Son to die to make it possible. I am so thankful that Your nearness is based on Your desire and not mine. You know I desire it, but my desire is weak, fickle, untrustworthy. I trust in Your love for me.

Psalm 131
1 Chapter: Psalm 131
1 Verse: Verse 3O. Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and forever.
1 Prayer: Father, I wish I could pray the previous two verses of this psalm. Yet, I know they do not describe me very well. My soul is neither composed nor quiet. My involvements seem far too great for my powers of comprehension. Yet, if there is one thing I can do, it is to hope in You. I am trusting You to teach me to compose and quiet my soul. I hope in the day my soul is like a weaned child. Help me get disentangled from things too difficult for me. Thank You, Lord.

Psalm 130
1 Chapter: Psalm 130
1 Verse: Verse 7. O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is lovingkindness, and with Him is abundant redemption.
1 Prayer: Father, I keep forgetting that Your redemption is abundant. Your lovingkindness is fully sufficient for my sinful weakness. You do not forget my hope in You, no matter how small and fragile and unworthy it may be. I am so thankful, Father, that You hear prayer and show goodness to me when I least deserve it. Teach me to be ever watchful for Your working on my behalf. Teach me to hope in You even when I don't see Your works. Teach me to be thankful for things I haven't seen. And when I do see Your hand move to help me, help me to be abundantly thankful. Thank You, Father. I love You.
