DAY 5 OF 31

Introduction

Psalm 86: Today’s psalm is an individual lament expressing a plea for God’s help. It includes a hymn of praise (verses 8–13) and concludes with an affirmation of God’s love and faithfulness.

But you, O Lord, are a merciful and loving God, always patient, always kind and faithful.

Reflect
