I pray Psalms with Jesus — not because I’m good at prayer, but because I’m learning to pray! These Psalm Prayers will encourage you!
In the spirit of David, the Psalmist, My Psalms Prayer Book is my personal prayer journal that I have filled with my meditations, prayer poems, short abiding prayers, inspiring pictures, journal entries, and intercessions for others.
By Praying the Psalms my devotion to live my whole life as an apprentice to Jesus in his kingdom has been growing! Many people have found my meditations and short Psalms Prayers helpful. I invite you to join us in using these prayers for your personal devotions and in your ministry to others.
Currently I pray the Psalms by using the readings from The Book of Common Prayer. For a number of years I used a 60-day schedule that I developed: Praying the Psalms Morning, Noon, and Night Every Two Months.
One of the most helpful things I do when I pray from a Psalm is to go deeper with a verse or thought that the Holy Spirit impresses upon my heart. This has led me to write many abiding prayers which I like to pray over and over throughout the day.
I also sing the Psalms — even though I don’t have the least bit of musical talent! You can read my story and learn the benefits of this devotional practice in my article, “No Notes? Sing a Psalm Anyway!“
