Day 12

PSALM 12: When liars overwhelm the godly

There are several rough categories for different types of psalms. This one, like many others in book 1 is an example of ‘The prayer for help of an individual’ (sometimes called a psalm of lament).

Why do you think lying and similar ideas from this psalm are so evil?
How do God’s word’s compare to human lies (verse 6)?

How do the words of Jesus fit with this psalm (see for example John 1:14 -17)?

Today’s Prayer Suggestions

1. Ask God to help you speak truthfully and to trust in His pure and enduring words.

2. Pray for Growth Group leaders as they prepare to guide others through God's Word each week.

3. Pray for Dan & Rachel Djamaludin's Sunday fellowship in their community in Bangkok. Pray for wisdom in their pastoral care of people in that fellowship group.
