Day 20

PSALM 20: A prayer for the King

Psalm 20 remembers the king from psalm 18 (esp 18:50) and is, for the first time, the prayer of a group of people: ‘we’. What are all the requests they make?

What might it mean in the 21st Century to ‘trust in chariots and horses’ (verse 7)? Where should we place our trust?

Why should we be so happy that God has raised and rescued Jesus? See if meditating on these ideas can grow Christian joy in your heart.

Today’s Prayer Suggestions

1. Commit your plans to God, trusting not in worldly power but in His mighty hand to save.

2. Pray that in our services at church and in our evangelistic ministries, we would clearly articulate the good news of Jesus to others.

3. Pray for Reformed Bible Institute in Myanmar to receive more students despite dangerous travel conditions.
