Scripture
Psalm 70
Click here to read today’s passage on Bible Gateway
Observation
What does David ask of God? What should those who seek God do?
Application
Do I go to God FIRST when I am in need? Do I rejoice in Him and praise Him?
Prayer
Pray today’s Scripture back to God:
Dear Father in Heaven, When I am in need and facing opposition and persecution, may i always seek Your help first, rather than trying to handle things myself. I join with David in praying that all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; let those who love Your salvation continually say, “God is great!” In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
Pray to BLESS!

- B – BODY (physical health)
- L – Labor (their job or school)
