Daily Bible Reading – March 2022: God’s Renewing Word of PrayerSample

March 17

Introduction

Today’s psalm begins with the writer expressing complete trust in God, even when experiencing adversity. The writer warns against depending on violence and riches; salvation is dependent on God alone.

Scripture Reading

Psalm 62

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 62:5

I depend on God alone; I put my hope in him.

Reflect

The psalm writer refers to God as defender (verses 2, 6), protector and shelter (verse 7), and refuge (verse 8). What do these images convey to you about God? What do verses 3 and 4 tell you about the psalm writer’s situation? The writer urges us to tell God all our troubles (verse 8). Is there anything that you need to tell God about today?

Pray

Lord God, you are my defender, protector, shelter, and refuge. All power belongs to you, and I depend on you alone and place my hope and trust in you. When I am troubled and burdened with worry, I can turn to you, gracious God, assured of your constant love and protection. Amen.
