Day 2: Reflect: Psalm 107:8-9
On a separate sheet of paper, write as much of Psalm 107:8-9 below as you can remember.
Re-read Psalm 107:8-9 and reflect
Write your answers to these questions down on your sheet of paper to the following:
- How does God satisfy the thirsty and fill the hungry with good things?
- Read Psalm 107:1-7. Have you had a time of wandering? How has God led you out of that?
Prayer of Confession and Thanksgiving
Preparation for prayer:
In what ways do you find yourself “wandering in desert wastelands” (Psalm 107:4) today?.
What things in your reading and reflection cause you to give thanks to God?
Spend time in prayer of confession and thanksgiving
You can use the following as a guide
Father, I confess that I am prone to turn my eyes from you and end up wandering as a result. I come today, recognizing and repenting of these things that keep me from you: ___________________________
I also come before you thankful for the ways you lead me to a straight way, to a life with you where I can settle in.
Thank you for the way you hear my cries when I wander and for how you deliver me in distress. Thank you for bringing me out of darkness, for breaking the chains, and leading me by a straight way.
Thank you for the living water and the bread of life that you offer through your son. Thank you for the satisfaction and the ways that you fill me. Thank you for the way you satisfy all my needs. I pray this through your Son, Jesus, Amen.
