🪔 Psalms 102

Psalms 102 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “So the nations will fear Yahweh’s name; all the kings of the earth your glory.” Psalms 102 opens with these words: “Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.” The line to keep is Psalms 102:4: “My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.” Carry the word “heart” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 102:4: “My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Psalms 102? Then try this: Read “My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
