Psalm 1 taught us that the righteous people prosper, but the wicked people perish. The only problem is that doesn’t always seem to be true! There are lots of times in the Bible where people who trust God are faithful to him find themselves facing real suffering.

You might often have that experience as well - so how do you pray when things don’t look so good?

Psalm 1 tells us what every wise person in the Bible understands – that the righteous people (those who know God) prosper and wicked people (those who ignore God) don’t. This Psalm teaches us what sort of life God says is good and want to encourage us to choose the good life instead of the bad.
