Daily Bible Reading—March 2024, God’s Guiding Word: PrayerSample

March 20
Introduction
Psalm 26: Today’s reading is a psalm in which the writer is seeking God’s justice and declaration of innocence. The writer claims to do what is right, seeks to avoid evildoers, and expresses love for God’s house.
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 26:2
Examine me and test me, LORD; judge my desires and thoughts.
Reflect
The psalm writer asks to be examined and tested by God (verse 2). Have you ever asked God to judge your desires and thoughts? Have you ever found yourself in the company of those who want to do something you believed was wrong? If so, what did you do?
Pray
Loving and merciful God, your constant love is my guide; your faithfulness always leads me. You know all my thoughts and desires. I long to be in your presence and do what is right. Guard my lips and my actions this day. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 27: A prayer of confidence in God’s protection.
