Praying The Psalms
Seeing How The Psalms Can Help
This is a study that is vital to your and your friend’s relationship with God. Talking to Him and Him talking with you is a part of the three keys to all of Christianity--Ask, Seek, and Knock (Mat 7:7-11). This prayer study helps you be able to understand not only how to talk to your heavenly Father, Jesus actually uses it to give you valuable information and examples for what to pray, how to pray, and when to pray.
David, God’s Master Prayer Developer
David was a man after God’s own heart. His ability to pray was a work of art and an intimate communication with God. He would come to God with his problems and before the prayer was over, he would be praising God for the answer. God would respond to the beginning of David’s prayer and David would praise God because of the truths God had just given him.
Healing A Damaged Heart
We all have wounds. Many of these wounds have been shut off from God and even ourselves. God knows they are there; but, if you haven’t given Him permission to deal with them, they stay there. Time doesn’t heal; it just buries the problem and obscures its influence from your mind. Your heart is still damaged; but, you often can’t pinpoint the location of the pain.
In this study the Psalms are being used to bring all the past and present wounds before God. Issue by issue they are being presented to God so He can heal them. Every closed door is being opened and God is being invited in. A request is being made to God asking for healing for each damaged area. By the time the prayer is over, God has healed that area and has supplied miracles in its place.
Prayer Illustrations And Examples
There are prayers already placed under David’s prayers, verse by verse. They are presented under each verse; and, they are examples expressed from other’s hearts. As they went down each verse, they read David’s prayer in the verse and then Jesus helped them take the subject expressed and either put it in their own words or He helped them create a prayer on the same subject. This sets you an example of a prayer POSSIBILITY.
Allowing Jesus To Expand Your Prayers
You can use each verse so Jesus will be invited to help you look down into your own heart. He helps you see what God is trying to deal with for that moment on that subject. If you came back and went over the same verses at another time, Jesus would probably lead you into praying about different prayer issues.
This study mainly has to do with Jesus helping you and your friends get the heart concerns that are buried there and bring them out before God. When Jesus uses this procedure, it helps Him bring subjects expressed in the Psalms before you. It then encourages you to consider whether or not they express heart damage lodged in your heart. If you weren’t allowing Jesus to use each of these Psalms, you might not ever think about praying for that particular issue.
Shape The Prayer For Your Own Needs
The words below each verse may or may not express your or your friend’s individual situation. However, you can still use the example to show you how to develop your own prayer. Feel free to use this material in any way that is helpful to you. Even if it is a source for you to disagree with, it has served a purpose. Let Jesus use it or help you create one of your own for each Psalm. You will most likely find this system to be a real blessing to you. Jesus can use it to help you pray and then allow God to talk back to you. Let Jesus heal, bless, and inspire you to a whole new method of prayer and meditation.
