Day 1 — Instruction

Rehearsing Truth in the Quiet

Read:

Scripture (BSB): Psalm 13

How Long, O LORD?

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

3 Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4 lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

5 But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

6 I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

Devotional

Silence has a way of shaping our thoughts. When God feels quiet, our minds often fill the space with assumptions—sometimes fear, sometimes doubt, sometimes conclusions we never intended to draw.

Psalm 13 shows us that faith begins with remembrance. David does not deny his pain, but he anchors himself in who God has revealed Himself to be. Truth steadies us when emotions feel overwhelming.

God’s character does not change with circumstances. His faithfulness does not depend on how clearly we hear Him in the moment.

Reflect

• What truth about God stands out to you in Psalm 13?

Pray

“God, anchor my heart in what is true about You.”

Respond

Write one truth you will intentionally return to today.
