For the times when prayer doesn't come easily, here is a devotional prayer book focusing on the Psalms, the most sensitive and honest words written about daily stress and daily blessing. Peterson provides vivid insights into each chosen psalm, followed by a prayer.
Prayer is both our most human action and our most human language. But, as with any other language, we may find ourselves clumsy and undisciplined in our attempts at it. Praying with the Psalms can help Christians become fluent in the language of prayer, encouraging us to pray even when we don't feel like it, and to learn prayers that are both honest and right. Based on the life and words of David, the Psalms provide insightful reflections on depression, anger, frustration, fear, and insecurity, as well as joy exhilaration, triumph, and gladness. Praying with the Psalms offers daily readings to guide us in expressing to God the wide range of human emotions. Through this enriched communication with God, we are led to a deeper understanding - and a truer following - of his will.
