The Psalms
Followers of Jesus have been praying the Psalms for centuries. The Psalms introduce us to a broad array of prayers. Scot McKnight describes the Psalms as "surprisingly honest and open and frank". Could the same desscription be applied to your prayer life? Esther de Waal shares her thoughts about praying the Psalms in "Seeking God". She observes, "In the Psalms I find myself at my worst and my best. Here I can acclaim God with warmth and confidence and hope, but here also I can give vent to...thoughts that might otherwise lie hidden in the dark and angry corners of my heart." Along with McKnight and Ester de Waal I have enjoyed praying the Psalms. It is a way to join together with Pilgrims throughout the ages and pour out your heart before the LORD.
