Psalm 11
March 6, 2026
In the Lord I take refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
Flee like a bird to your mountain,
2 for behold, the wicked bend the bow;
they have fitted their arrow to the string
to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
3 if the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?

O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

to still the enemy and the avenger.

Psalm 6
March 2, 2026
O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,
nor discipline me in your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
3 My soul also is greatly troubled.
But you, O Lord—how long?
Daily Prayer
March 1, 2026
Prayer: Our God, we are mere pilgrims in this sin-wrecked world. We are walking to our heavenly rest, and we often feel the weight and burden of this life as we wrestle with the world, the flesh, and the devil. We witness atrocities of every kind. We see the consequences of sin each day. We witness it in the culture, our leaders, neighbors, friends, and other believers. We witness it in ourselves. We grieve the mess sin has made in a world you made and called very good. You, Lord, know all about these struggles because you suffered in all ways we do, yet without sin.

Psalm 4
February 26, 2026
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have given me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2 O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah
3 But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.

PRIORITY: Attending Coporate Prayer Meetings

O Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;

“There is no salvation for him in God.”
