The book of Psalms is about heart, passion, reality, love, faith, struggle, and life.
More than almost any other book of the Bible, Psalms puts our relationship with God into words. Its writers experienced the same emotions we face today-fear and faith, grief and gratitude, loneliness and hope, uncertainty and confidence, pain and praise. They discovered how to bring every emotion and every circumstance honestly before God.
That makes Psalms the perfect book to pray through.
PRAYING THROUGH PSALMS is a practical Christian devotional and prayer guide designed to help you move beyond simply reading Scripture to praying Scripture, understanding it, applying it, and listening for what God wants to teach you through His Word.
Whether you are looking for a Psalms devotional, Bible study, prayer journal, daily quiet-time guide, or a deeper prayer life, this book will help you spend meaningful time with God.
Each section guides you through six simple steps:
READ THE PASSAGE
Open your Bible and spend time in God's Word.
MEMORIZE THE PASSAGE
Focus on a key verse, commit it to memory, and carry God's truth with you throughout your day.
UNDERSTAND THE PASSAGE
Discover helpful background information-including the time, characters, place, and circumstances-to better understand what you are reading.
READ THE PRAYER
Turn the message of the Psalm into a personal prayer from your heart to God.
KEEP PRAYING
Use additional prayer prompts to continue your conversation with God and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into other areas of prayer.
JOURNAL YOUR THOUGHTS
Record what you are learning, what you are praying, and what you sense God teaching you through His Word. Additional Prayer Thoughts pages provide space for reflections and prayer requests along the way.
The Psalms remind us that we can bring everything to God-our questions, fears, disappointments, victories, hopes, gratitude, worship, and praise.
You don't have to hide what you're feeling. The writers of Psalms didn't.
Bring your heart to God.
Bring your struggles to God.
Bring your praise to God.
And learn how to turn the timeless words of Psalms into the prayers of your own heart.
PRAYING THROUGH PSALMS is ideal for personal Bible study, morning or evening quiet time, prayer journaling, spiritual growth, and anyone who wants to develop a deeper and more personal relationship with God through Scripture.
