Praying the Psalms

We invite you to join our church community each day with a morning devotional from the book of Psalms. We encourage you to take time to read the passage and use it as your morning prayer.


How to pray the Psalms


START by praying this short prayer:

Dear God, please guide me as I open your Word this morning. Thank you. Amen.


READ a passage of today’s Psalm through twice. Let the Holy Spirit talk to you.

Then go through the passage again for the third time, this time one verse at the time, and pause. There will be words/phrases that will jump out of the verse and inspire or impress you.


PRAY by using these words and phrases, personalise them in terms of your own experience of God. Follow the above process for each of the next verses.


CLOSE with a prayer:

Dear Lord, fill me with your Holy Spirit today and let me be guided by You. Amen.
