 This week at Living Grace, we continue our journey through the Psalms together. Each week, we read a portion of Scripture as a church family so we can remain rooted in God’s Word and united in His truth. The Psalms teach us how to worship, how to pray, and how to walk faithfully with the Lord through every season of life.
This week’s reading focuses on Psalm 119:81–120, a powerful section that expresses deep longing for God’s salvation, unwavering trust in His promises, and confidence in His unchanging Word. These verses remind us that in seasons of weariness, affliction, uncertainty, or spiritual pressure, God’s Word becomes our anchor, our guide, and our place of refuge.
