 READINGS FROM THE PSALMS

God is our refuge and strength,
  a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,
  and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
  though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof (46.1-3).
​In his most trying hour, Jesus turned to the Psalms to express himself in prayer: “My God, my God! Why hast thou forsaken me?” (ps. 22.1). If it was good enough for him, it is good enough for us.

Here, we provide a daily psalm with the suggestion that you consider incorporating it into your daily prayers.

READINGS FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT GOSPELS

It is impossible to overestimate the power and importance of the N.T. Gospels. Everywhere else when God's thoughts, words, and actions are discussed, it is in the third person: "he thinks," "he says," "he does." But in the N.T. Gospels, all of God's thoughts, words, and actions are in the first person: "I think," "I say," "I do." No where is the revelation of God and His character more accurate and intimate.
