VERSE: Psalm 6:4–Return, O Lord, rescue my soul; save me because of Your lovingkindness. TRUTH: The Lord is the rescuer. He is able to save us, not only from eternal death, but also from the day-to-day difficulties we encounter. Do we call to Him in the midst of all our trials? RESPONSE: Lord, You are loving and You delight in rescuing those of us who ask. Lord, save me from the evil one because of Your lovingkindness.

VERSE: Psalm 5:3–In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; in the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch. TRUTH: Can the Lord expect to hear our voice every morning? Or do we just come to Him when we have a problem? Then when we pray to Him, are we eagerly watching for His response or just try to go answer our own prayers? God wants to be in a relationship with us, not just a recipient of our information. We must trust Him and come to Him consistently and expectantly. RESPONSE: Lord, I love to bring my prayers to You. Help me to…

VERSE: Psalm 4:8–In peace I will lie down and sleep, for You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety. TRUTH: Our security and protection is found only in Christ. Only by trusting Him completely can we find peace. Are we lacking peace in an area of our life? Then we need to place our trust in God for that area and rest in His peace. RESPONSE: Lord, You know every area of my life. I place them all in Your hand and dwell in Your peace.

VERSE: Psalm 3:2-3–Many are saying of my soul, “There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah. But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head. TRUTH: People and going to try and tell us that God won’t be there, that He will fail and disappoint us. However, the Lord is the One who shields us, gives us glory, and lifts up our head. Will we listen to others or follow the truth of who God is? RESPONSE: Lord, so many people have tried to pull me away from trusting You. Keep me steadfast and help me to live in the…

VERSE: Psalm 2:11–Worship the Lord with reverence and rejoice with trembling. TRUTH: The Lord is worthy of all our worship and praise. He is amazing and His power and might are worthy of our respect. Do we not only praise the Lord, but do it in a way that is honoring and respectful of the power He possesses? RESPONSE: Father, You are so many things, including powerful and just. I praise You for Your righteousness and holiness!

VERSE: Psalm 1:1–How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! TRUTH: Where do we find out counsel? Who do we look to for advice and guidance? We are to plant ourselves firmly in Christ. We need to be constantly aware of who we are around and how they influence us. RESPONSE: Lord, I want to walk only in Your counsel, stand in Your path, and sit by Your throne.

VERSE: Revelation 22:7–“And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book.” TRUTH: We may not know the exact time of Christ’s return, but we can know it is coming quickly. Are we heeding the words that God said? Are we sharing those words with others? RESPONSE: Lord, I am excited for Your return, but not everyone I know is ready. Father, help me to heed Your words and share them with others who may not know You.

VERSE: Revelation 21:7–He who overcomes will inherit these things and I will be his God and he will be my son.

RESPONSE: Father, I pray You will help me to lift up You, to overcome. I desire nothing more than for You to be my God and I Your child.

VERSE:Revelation 20:15–And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. TRUTH: This sobering verse is a reminder that our relationship with Christ is not about our works or our deeds. Our relationship is based upon our acceptance of Christ’s gift of salvation and trading our life for His life. Are we covered by His life and our name recorded in the book of life? Are we working to help others accept Christ’s gift as well? RESPONSE: Lord, You have my life. Help me to show others Your gift of life.
