Praying the Psalms

So it seems simple enough, right? We read all the time that Jesus prayed the Psalms. So why had I not thought to do this until this week? This was one of many new habits I picked up at EWC, and I really like it. Sometimes, you're not in the mood to make up your own prayer, or you want to learn from the wisdom of a prayer that is already written, but saying something like the Our Father or Hail Mary loses it's meaning occasionally because you say it so often. It's easy to zone out or not really concentrate on the words to these prayers. The Psalms are a great balance between these two realms! And the cool thing is, there's one (or more) for basically EVERY situation you could be in, emotion you could be feeling, etc. I personally recommend Psalm 104- it is all about God's power and glory as seen through nature and His creation, and it really gets me excited about how BIG and mighty our God is! Anyways, that was just one little random thing I wanted to share right now. This blog is amazing, you ladies are all amazing, and God is definitely amazing! :)
