Monday
Read Psalm 138
I thank you, Lord, with all my heart;
I sing praise to you before the gods.
2 I face your holy Temple,
bow down, and praise your name
because of your constant love and faithfulness,
because you have shown that your name and your commands are supreme.[b]
3 You answered me when I called to you;
with your strength you strengthened me.
4 All the kings in the world will praise you, Lord,
because they have heard your promises.
5 They will sing about what you have done
and about your great glory.
6 Even though you are so high above,
you care for the lowly,
and the proud cannot hide from you.
7 When I am surrounded by troubles,
you keep me safe.
You oppose my angry enemies
and save me by your power.
8 You will do everything you have promised;
Lord, your love is eternal.
Complete the work that you have begun.
Footnotes:
Psalm 138:1 HEBREW TITLE: By David.
Psalm 138:2 Probable text your name and your commands are supreme; Hebrew your command is greater than all your name.

Think
"With your strength you strengthened me." (Verse 3) . The Psalmist truly recognizes that God gives of God's own strength to help us through what we need help with.
Pray
Lord strengthen me with your strength.
