Reading the Psalms as a prayer book is as ancient as the authors who were inspired to write and share these words with the family of God. I invite you to take the Psalms into your heart and meditate on these words as your own prayer language. The Psalms teach us to see the world as it is, a place often hostile to faith and the people of God. The Psalms remind us of who God is, the creator of life and love. My prayer is that you find comfort, hope, joy, and increased faith as you see God’s love expressed for you in his Word.
The devotions on this site were written as part of my own morning devotional time with the Lord. I hope to collect them along with others to publish in a book. I welcome your comments and want to hear your insights as you read the Psalms with me.
There are many ways to pray through the scripture. My own pattern is to pray and ask the Lord to meet with me as I meditate on his word. I then open the Bible and read for understanding, usually reading it multiple times. I then journal my thoughts and prayers reflecting on how the Scripture relates to my own faith journey and daily life. I finish my devotion time with a prayer of praise and asking for any thing I need from my Heavenly Father.
My prayer is that you use these words to stimulate your own Morning in the Psalms.
“Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.” —Psalm 119:97
