7-Step QT Notes

1. 🙏 Quiet Time

Pause.

Take a deep breath.

Invite God into this moment—not just to fix your problems, but to remind you who He is.

2. 📅 July 2, 2025

Today is a new opportunity to remember that God is not just powerful—He is personal.

3. ✝️ Psalm 86:1–17

This psalm is a heartfelt prayer from David.

He’s overwhelmed, desperate, and honest.

But more than anything, he’s confident—because he knows who God is.

4. 📖 Key Verse

“For you are great and do wondrous things;
you alone are God.” (v.10)

5. 📝 Reflection

Who is God to you—really?

David doesn’t just ask for help. He describes God with words like:

good, forgiving, merciful, gracious, faithful, powerful, comforting, saving.

These aren’t just poetic words. They’re real traits of a real God who really listens.

💡 Think about this:

  • Are you looking for comfort, strength, or direction today?
  • You might try to find it in people, success, or even distraction.
  • But David reminds us: only God is truly God.
  • What you need most—He already is.

So instead of chasing what the world offers, come to the One who offers Himself.

Scriptures

📖 1 Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. 2  Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God. 3  Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day. 4  Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 5 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you. 6  Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace. 7  In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me.

8 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. 9  All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. 10 For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. 11 Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. 12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. 13 For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

14 O God, insolent men have risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, and they do not set you before them. 15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. 16 Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your maidservant. 17 Show me a sign of your favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me (Ps 86:1-17, ESV).
