I have recently read in several very different books about praying the Psalms, or praying God's Word. The one book was a very modern book, and their approach was very spirit-filled. In another book, it was actually a Jewish man that taught a Christian woman how to pray from scripture. Either way, the idea is to internalize the scripture; to make it your own; to "own" God's promises.
I got to thinking about it, and decided I'd like to try something new.
So starting the 1st of June, I will be praying from one of the Psalms each day.
I welcome you to do this journey with me. It will be a long journey (there are 150 psalms, so we're talking about 5 months). You may not be ready to commit for the duration, but give a week a try-- or challenge yourself to a month. See if God does not bless you-- if in no other way than by you learning more about scripture!
Let me know if this is something you decide to do-- I think it will be very eye-opening, and I pray it will be a blessing to each one of you!

Sounds like a good idea.
