The same thing just happened for me two years after you! Made me feel a little emotional seeing your comment as I was thinking the same thing. I just started today, first reading. Bless you
He answers. He is for peace. He protects. He helps. He made the heavens and the earth. He is always alert and aware. He is our shelter. He is forever. He is peace. He is united. He is a fortress. He is prosperous. He is master. He shows us His favor.
Going into a new Season of time I see how Powerful that the Lord is because Satin will try to attack, but our Mighty Father will continue to fight our battles for us. When we may not have the Strength he will pick us up. I’m looking forward to sharing the next 365 day’s of reading with all of you.
Where have my sights been set? On earthly pleasures, satisfactions, and longings? What a waste of the precious eyesight that the Lord has bestowed on me. My eyes have been drawn away from Heaven because of the fear within me—a fear of failing maybe…a fear of letting go of pride…a fear of conviction most definitely…but now my eyes look back to the One who made me, the One who loves me, the One who has gained victory over my sin and over this world. I pray that my gaze will only become more and more transfixed on the One who knows me through and through. I pray for the courage to declare victory over my suffering and live in light of what He has sacrificed so that I may live in eternity with Him. Amen.
I know this was a year ago but thank you and amen. That is exactly where I am today and I’m praying that I can keep my gaze fixed on Him rather than the earthly things I’ve been turning to lately.
Opened up my SRT app for the first time today and felt the plan to read the Bible in 365 days was the best place to start. Happy to be reading passages along with other women in the world who are putting God as their purpose. Thankful to have found this little blessing in the busy world we live in!
Thank you for reminding me that I have awesome, powerful help from the creator of this world. Help me never to forget that in all my situations. Help me not to rely on people just like me but Creator God. I can’t believe he doesn’t get tired of me.
Psalms 120:1 “In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me”
I have been struggling so much lately with health problems, spiritual weakness, and just overall worry. The Lord knew it, and had me open up my SRT app and start this plan to read the Bible in 365 days. I love when he speaks into my life with scripture. I know God hears and sees my distress and he will answer me. I will say a prayer for all you ladies reading this also, past and present, that the Lord continues His good works through you.❤️
I love reading the psalms . Knowing all David went through and how he still wrote all these praises to God during those times just gives me so much encouragement.
Psalms 7-8 God guards you from every evil,
he guards your very life.
He guards you when you leave and when you return,
he guards you now, he guards you always.
With all the craziness in the world this shows me no matter why God is always guarding us.
For much of my adult life, I have steered clear of the Bible and church all together. Maybe because it was pressed in my head so much growing up. After many sleepless nights and troubled times, I have found my love for God within the Bible. I am on day 1 of the 365 devotion and I am so humbled. Thank you to whoever created this app.
I’m reading “Free of Me” with people from my youth group and this applies to so much of what she’s talking about. We (I) need to look to God more in times of suffering rather than just ‘stick it out, be independent and get the work done’ I could be asking God for the strength in those weak times and looking to him for the answers more!!
In my trouble I cried to the Lord,
And He answered me.
Last night as I lay in bed I had pain throughout by right back, arm and hand from MS. It has persisted for five days. But last night in a moment when I felt weakest I cried out to God to help me. For a few minutes the Lord eased my pain and gave me a peace and calm that all would be ok. The pain is back today but that moment of calm was my moment of trouble when I cried to the Lord, and He answered me.
2 Deliver me, O Lord,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to you,
and what more shall be done to you,
you deceitful tongue?
4 A warrior’s sharp arrows,
with glowing coals of the broom tree!
What are people’s’ interpretations of this? Whose lying tongue?
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
I will remember to seek Him first for help. When I feel so alone and hopeless, I need to remember I am jot, I have our Heavenly Father to turn to. Sometimes it’s hard to feel like He is really there.
7 The Lord will protect you from all harm;
He will protect your life.
8 The Lord will protect your coming and going
both now and forever.
He is in charge of preserving my life, and my comings & goings. I’m reminded of Ps 139–Where can I go from your presence?—and Matthew 6–Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? I am so comforted by this and overwhelmed that such a big God would watch out for me, but what love! What amazing, perfect love. There is none like Him!
As others (my child) cry out to me, I need to cry out to God and remember that he hears me and answers me! Jesus is no stranger to suffering. Love this reminder in Psalm 120.
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.
I will continue to look for the good in myself and others as well as situations.
Psalms 123:1 – To You I lift up my eyes, you who are enthroned in the heavens. ||| I love this reminder to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and not shifting to the wayward things of this world. He, alone, is our firm foundation – the rock on which we stand. He is our help in time of need & our comforter in times of trouble and sorrow. I’m so thankful he keeps us, every part of our lives is in His hands. Thank you, Jesus!
My help comes from the Lord.
Not coffee, not exercise, not shopping, not a 2 hour binge of Fixer Upper while my littles nap.
He alone is my help in the daily grind.
This passage is striking in the light of ISIS and the recent Paris attacks. I don’t mean “they” to refer to Muslims. I mean it in reference to other Christians I know who are chomping at the bit for a chance to point fingers at the Islamic faith. “See? I told you they were all evil terrorists. We can’t trust them.”
I don’t believe that. I believe in peace. I believe in the millions upon millions of kind, gentle Muslims who don’t want these horrors any more than Christians do.
Yes, #prayforparis. But don’t stop there. #prayforforgiveness. #prayforpeace.
“We have had more than enough contempt”. We need these scriptures now more than ever! They remind me to keep my eyes on my LORD, where my help comes from.
I was struck by the context of living in a world that does not want peace as David longed for peace in this first chapter and how, he encouraged his soul that he could still walk in peace by keeping his eyes upon the source of his help in 121. Thank You, Jesus, for being our ever present help in times of need. For never leaving us to transverse in this world alone. You, alone, are our peace and our refuge. I praise You for Your love and faithfulness!!
So often I forget to call on Jesus to deliver me from my own wretched sin and think somehow I can deliver myself. o help me Lord to remember daily how much I desperately need you.
This a a solid reminder for me that not only in times of need do I need to call out his name or when I’m waking up and sleeping but I need to reach out ll throughout the day like I used to. I felt as a child my relationship with him was closer. This encourages me to remember I’m not the only Christian struggling
My counselor gave me a new way to channel the frustration that comes with the constant crying of my twin 2 year olds and 3 year old. As they cry out to me, I need to cry out to God and remember that he hears me and answers me in my distress! Jesus is no stranger to suffering and is close to me. Love this reminder in Psalm 120.
A beautiful reminder of the security we have despite how we may feel. It is as if David is trying to convince his doubts and remind himself of the truth that he knows but needs to hear again.
The realization that David, a divinely appointed King, struggled so deeply, but found solace in crying out to God for mercy is a beautifully convicting and inspiring reminder that we are never alone.
This morning we spent time in deep prayer. Praising, petitioning, confessing, worshipping, giving thanks & asking for intercession & this just went so well with that. I’m so thankful for my God even though I deserve nothing more than hell. He is awesome & mighty & great.
I love it when I find verses that I recognize from songs! I make little music notes by those in my Bible and can’t help but sing when I’m reading them:)
1 I lift my eyes toward the mountains.
Where will my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
Just took my kids to a Chamber Music concert and went just expecting classical music…a quartet sang a song based on these verses and it was such a gift from the God who sees me and knows my heart and that I look to Him in all the struggles and difficulties and heartache and for wisdom and direction. God help me! Thy will be done! He is so good!
i had to read this one twice. but wow the amount i understood the second time after asking God to make me understand was crazy
The same thing just happened for me two years after you! Made me feel a little emotional seeing your comment as I was thinking the same thing. I just started today, first reading. Bless you
He answers. He is for peace. He protects. He helps. He made the heavens and the earth. He is always alert and aware. He is our shelter. He is forever. He is peace. He is united. He is a fortress. He is prosperous. He is master. He shows us His favor.
EVERYTHING here is timely, 5 years down the line ❤️
The Lord is my Keeper – what a comfort to know that He keeps my life within Christ.
The Lord does not sleep
❤️
I started this plan today & wow…. I needed to read this exact thing today! The comfort Gods word brings is amazing.
Thank you, LORD for being my Keeper….
❤️
8 The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore. – Psalms 121:8

Open my heart, Lord, and draw my eyes to you in times of trouble.
I pray that god will help me with my dishonesty and show me who I really am

From where does my help come?
2My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
Love this
7The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
I pray for that too
May we look up to the LORD for mercy and deliverance. May we go to hi throne with thanksgiving.

I have been trying to read the whole Bible and so happy I found this plan! Thank you ♥️

Very timely with major decisions arising. We need to seek the one who has it all in control!
I pray that God helps me look to alone and to the ways of this world
Help me oh Lord for I have come to you as your daughter-word from the heart

What an honest and good reminder…our sustenance and motivation for each facet of “the daily grind” comes from Him!!
Getting real! Love this!
6 Too long has my soul had its dwelling
With those who hate peace.

They are for war.
Oh how true this is for me! This is why I need the Lord.

The Lord is my KEEPER!

Well said.
Psalm 121 – my help comes from the Lord. Keep my eyes on him and my help will come. Amazing reminder.
“We have had more than enough contempt”. We need these scriptures now more than ever! They remind me to keep my eyes on my LORD, where my help comes from.
Love that part.

Amen!
Right now, I need the Lord more now than ever, need to change my life and trust God with all my heart and soul.
God will help you in that change. He is the great
I AM who gives us the desire to follow Him more closely. Praying for a soft moldable heart today!
I totally agree. I need God more than ever now. It’s so easy to stray away– this world is a tough place.

A beautiful reminder of the security we have despite how we may feel. It is as if David is trying to convince his doubts and remind himself of the truth that he knows but needs to hear again.
Heather Keener?
I call on the Lord in my distress. I am safe in his arms.
Psalm 121:1-2 is a great, but gentle reminder that all our help and all our plans come from the Lord.
I love this.
The realization that David, a divinely appointed King, struggled so deeply, but found solace in crying out to God for mercy is a beautifully convicting and inspiring reminder that we are never alone.
Well timed reading. PG.
Lord, have mercy.
God is good, all the time. The Lord is my KEEPER. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil. So powerful and moving.
