Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: Psalm 73
Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.
Asaph openly wrestles with his confusion and doubt, just like John in prison. It wasn’t until Asaph entered God's presence that clarity returned. Answers don't always cure our confusion—but God's presence does.
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
- Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Ask God to deepen your desire for His presence and to give you peace even when understanding is incomplete.
- Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
Take Action:
- Set aside 10 minutes today for silent prayer, focusing only on God's nearness.
- Read one Psalm aloud to remind yourself of God's faithfulness.
