OFTEN WHILE READING or praying the Psalms, I am convicted. The source of the conviction is found in the first set of beads for this psalm, Psalm 63:3: "because your love is better than life." This is a glorious truth and I believe it to be true, but I do not always live in this truth. Being loved by the Father is better than life, better than anything - there is nothing greater to be desired. My desire is to meditate on this truth so that my faith grows in such a way that I live out this truth.

PSALM 62 A SONG OF TRUST
MY PRAYER FOR YOU is that this psalm will become a wonderful song of trust that you return to again and again. As you pray through it, rest in God's presence within and without. I pray that you know Jesus as your fortress and that your faith will not be shaken.
If, as you have prayed this psalm, the Lord has brought to your mind places or people or things that you have put your trust in that are not God, give those to him now. Repent where God brings conviction to do so.
Close by thanking God that he is strong and that he is loving. Journal.

PSALM 51 A PRAYER FOR THE PENITENT
THIS IS CLEARLY a psalm for the penitent, but it is also a cry for help. Unlike other cries for help in the Psalms, the writer does not tell us what the troubles are. The trouble rests with those repenting and their own sin, making this a powerful prayer of confession for any who need to be washed from iniquity and cleansed from sin.
My heart cries out to God, "According to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions." "Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin." "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." All of these verses give a clear picture of what it means to be dependent on God, to be made right with him and right with the world. We can have confidence that the Lord can and will create a clean heart within those who call on his name. It is, in fact, his deepest desire to renew a right spirit within us.
