Indeed, the Psalms are a book of a heart on fire for God. Within these pages, the poet’s heart cries out to God, expressing raw and honest emotions. At times, the poet even questions God. But this cry is not one of rebellion or disbelief. It is an expression of trust and a recognition of God’s worthiness to receive praise. The Psalms also reveal the heart of God, a God who loves and cares for His people, a mighty redeemer God.
We should never forget the unbreakable spirit bond formed when a sincere human heart is wrapped together with the heart of God. Let us take a moment to pause and meditate on God’s words to our hearts. May we find comfort, rest, and joy as we meditate on the Psalms, and may the Holy Spirit guide us as we seek to draw closer to God.
This book can be used as a guide to mediation on the Psalms.
The richness of the book of Psalms.
Pray Expecting
Pray expecting that He knows you
Better than yourself,
And He has a plan and purpose
Not to leave you on a shelf.
Pray expecting that He hears you
And understands what you meant,
When you cry to Him for guidance
Or are confused by your intent.
Pray expecting that He cares
When turmoil comes your way,
He hears your prayer of anguish
And will be with you through the day.
Pray expecting He will answer
That your prayer to Him is heard,
The answer may be a nudging
Or a passage in His Word.
Pray expecting you have a purpose
For you and your clan,
He chose you for His pleasure
You have a role in His eternal plan.
Pray knowing that He loves you
And for you He wants the best,
So, trust His holy guidance
And in Him you’ll find your rest.
