Day 307 – Psalm 69

“Your lovingkindness is good…” Psalm 69:16a

CONTINUING IN PRAYER

Many stumble and give up when there does not seem to be a let up in the harsh circumstances in life. The psalmist David shows us how we ought to persevere in prayer.

“Hear me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good;
Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.
And do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am in trouble; hear me speedily.
Draw near to my soul, and redeem it;
Deliver me because of my enemies.”
Psalm 69:16-18
