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.
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 86:15
But you, O Lord, are a merciful and loving God, always patient, always kind and faithful.
Reflect
How does the psalm writer begin this prayer? What verses express trust in God? Does the writer make any promises to God? How do you express your devotion to God? Is there anything for which you need to ask God’s help today?

God of comfort and help, you are merciful and loving, always kind and faithful. Turn to me and hear my prayer for ____________________. Teach me, Lord God, what you want me to do; teach me to obey you faithfully and to serve you with complete devotion. Amen.
