Synopsis
Weariness. Wonder. Joy. Longing. Anger. These are the feelings of the Psalms: honest expressions of pain and joy penned by real people in the midst of real life circumstances. Though they were written centuries ago, the Psalms still resonate deeply with us today, giving voice to our thoughts and longings: “Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD.” (Psalm 130:1) “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1) “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.” (Psalm 84:2) In Learning to Pray Through the Psalms, James W. Sire teaches us to take our appreciation for this rich book of Scripture a step further. Choosing ten specific psalms, Sire offers background information that helps us read each one with deeper insight and then lays out a meditative, step-by-step approach to using the psalmists’ words as a guide for our own personal conversation with God. A group study is also included in each chapter, along with a guide for praying through the psalm in community. The Lord loves when his people pray. And his Word is a powerful tool for framing honest, intimate prayers. Sire’s innovative approach will enrich our minds and our souls as we read more perceptively and pray with all of our emotions., Weariness. Wonder. Joy. Longing.
