Have you ever felt like you wanted to talk with God, and you were not sure what to say? That happens to all of us from time to time. Any time I am searching for the words to say to God in prayer, I go to the Psalms and read them prayerfully.
There are 150 poems and songs in in the Book of Psalms and you can find every single human emotion there. Those who penned the Psalms did so with such authenticity and honesty before God. So, when we can’t find the words to pray, we can look to the Psalms for help.
This week, I’ve included a few Psalms for us to prayerfully read together. Find a quiet spot with your Bible and pray as you read each Psalm. I’ve also linked the passages below if you would like to read them on your screen as well.
No matter when or how you read these Psalms this week, you can do so trusting that God understands the prayer of our heart and knows what we would like to say even when we can’t find the words to express it fully.
After you read each of these Psalms, try to spend some time just sitting still with God and taking some intentional time to listen to God as well.
Be encouraged as you read and listen prayerfully! God is listening and God is speaking because God loves us!
