Look back: Look back over Psalm 73 and remember although the wicked may seem to prosper now, worship gives believers an eternal perspective that reveals their end and reminds us that God Himself is the greatest and lasting reward of the faithful.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will be in Psalm 74. Read it during the week with your family. 

Ask: How can we bring our griefs to God in faith?

Pray: Pray that you would come to God with your complaints in a way that honors him, expresses faith, and trusts in his goodness.
