Day 17: Psalm 56 – When troubled by the enemy

The psalmist shows David crying out to God for help and it shows David trusts God and his sovereign control over all things.

When was the last time you cried out to God in a time of need? Was it a last resort or did you foresee the consequences of an event?

This psalm, like many of the psalms, is split into 2 sections. What are the two sections about?

In v10 why does he say, “in God’s word I will praise”?

How do you know that God is real and isn’t our enemy from this psalm? What about from outside this psalm?

Prayer points:

1. Thank God for one thing from the passage

2. Ask God for help with one thing you've been challenged by from your reading and reflection today
