Morning:
I am cast out of thy sight;
yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath
forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she
should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may
forget, yet will I not forget thee.
I forgat prosperity. And I said, My strength and my hope is
perished from the LORD. Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?
arise, cast us not off for ever. Why sayest thou, O Jacob,
and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my
judgment is passed over from my God? In a little wrath I hid my
face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will
I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou
disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my countenance, and my God. We are
troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed,
but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but
not destroyed.
Jonah 2:4 Isaiah 49:14-15 Lamentations 3:17-18 Psalms 44:23 Isaiah 40:27 Isaiah 54:8 Psalms 43:5 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
Evening:
When the poor and needy seek water,
and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst,
I the LORD will hear them.
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? What
hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart,
wherein he hath laboured under the sun? For all his days are
sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest
in the night. All is vanity and vexation of spirit. They
have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them
out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. I will
pour water upon him that is thirsty. Blessed are they which
do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be
filled.
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul
thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
thirsty land, where no water is.
Isaiah 41:17 Psalms 4:6 Ecclesiastes 2:22-23 Ecclesiastes 2:17 Jeremiah 2:13 John 6:37 Isaiah 44:3 Matthew 5:6 Psalms 63:1
