Turning to the Book of Psalms: David's Journaling and Prayers (pj4life and Prayer Journaling for Life)

A pj4life (Prayer Journaling for Life) blog post:

 

There is one place I go to without fail when I am tired, upset, confused, frustrated, angry, sad, and any other strong emotion you can think of. I also turn to the psalms when I am neutral, dead inside, listless, lifeless, numb, and dull. They are where I go to when I need refuge and when I want to experience a real connection with God.

 

Why do I go there of all places in the Bible?

 

The psalms are David’s prayer journal.

 

If you want to know how to pray, turn to the Book of Psalms.

 

If you want to know how to prayer journal, dive into the Book of Psalms.

 

It’s there David pours everything out to God and declares the glory of God—both—and all at once. He talks to God in a very real way. He doesn’t hold back. He uses his writing as a way to purge himself of everything and as he does it, he connects to the one Most High.
