Praying the Psalms
The Psalms are regarded as the hymnal of the ancient Hebrew people and the "prayer book" of Jesus. Today they provide for us a rich resource for spiritual formation. As a spiritual discipline, some have found it meaningful to read the same Psalm (or portion of a Psalm) for each day for a week, meditating on the same text each day over the seven days. The following assigned lectionary readings from the Psalms cover the next few weeks:
November 5 | Psalm 43 | |
November 12 | Psalm 70 | |
November 19 | Psalm 90:1-8, (9-11), 12 | |
November 26 | Psalm 95:1-7a | |
