Psalms 109:1-31. Verse 4, but I give myself to prayer. What storm of trouble in my life today must be answered with God’s command of “but”?

Romans 2:1-16. Verse 4, how have I experienced the goodness of God leading me to repentance? Is that process not yet complete in me? Next step?
Matthew 16:5-12. What false formulas of salvation must I resist and reject in order to partake of Jesus as the bread of life?
