🎺 Psalms 55
Psalms 55 opens with these words: “Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.” The line to keep is Psalms 55:19: “God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and answer them. Selah. They never change, who don’t fear God.” Carry the word “enthroned” from that verse into the rest of the day.
