EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
No matter what the state of your soul is today sorrow, doubt, anger, joy, gratitude, guilt, or wonder, the book of Psalms can help. It can be a way to pray through reading. Psalms at different points can become part of your own prayer life.
Of countless critical situations in my life I look back and say, “Wow God, I’m so glad you were there for me”.
You may look back at situations in your own life where God was there for you too. We can look to many stories in God’s Word and see where God was there for others in their lives. Psalms is a great place to know God hears you and is there for you.
May we read in God’s Word and feel the need to grow so close in our relationship with God that we can pray to Him whenever we think of Him. “I’m so glad God, that You are here for me right now!, Please speak through Your Word or in these Psalms within Your Word.”
I love that my relationship with God grows closer each time I pray. Yours will as well. God’s presence in our prayer time with Him enables us to experience unexpected blessings, despite what circumstances have come. Praying a chapter of the Psalms each day is therapy.
The beauty of praying to God and having your thoughts in proper perspective on the forefront of your mind with Jesus, allows you to be completely aware when God answers your prayers.
Despite whatever circumstances come your way, understand God is with you. He was in the past and He is also with you right this minute! God loves you!!! He has truths in His Word that will speak to your heart. So many come through the Psalms.  How comforting it is to understand truth.❤ Please cling to His Word daily, hourly, minute to minute, pray continuously, and “Rest and hope” in Him.
(Psalm 1:6) “For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous….”
(Psalm 1:2) “But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.”
