Thanks for joining us on our 40-day journey of prayer. We’re asking you to get your journals out and do 3 things:

1. Read.
   • Read the Psalm of the day. Enjoy the 2-minute devo.
2. Reflect.
   • Journal a few thoughts.  Put into words what the Holy Spirit is speaking to you.
3. Respond.
   • Spend time in prayer.  Respond to what God is speaking to you through his Spirit and his word.

“Everything that a person can possibly feel, experience, and say is brought into expression before God in the Psalms.” Eugene Peterson

Today’s reading: Psalm 119:153-160

Look upon my suffering and rescue me,
    for I have not forgotten your instructions.
¹⁵⁴ Argue my case; take my side!
    Protect my life as you promised.
¹⁵⁵ The wicked are far from rescue,
    for they do not bother with your decrees.
¹⁵⁶ Lord, how great is your mercy;
    let me be revived by following your regulations.
¹⁵⁷ Many persecute and trouble me,
    yet I have not swerved from your laws.
¹⁵⁸ Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart,
    because they care nothing for your word.
¹⁵⁹ See how I love your commandments, Lord.
    Give back my life because of your unfailing love.
¹⁶⁰ The very essence of your words is truth;
    all your just regulations will stand forever.
