One of my favorite places in the Bible is the Psalms. When I can’t quite seem to put into words my thoughts and feelings, even in my prayers, a well-chosen psalm says just what I want to say, in so much better words.
Over the years, I’ve somewhat randomly condensed some of the psalms into a phrase, according to how it touched me in the moment. Here are a few, in order by chapter.
1. The story of the righteous
8. For a heart of praise to the Creator
15. Instructions for a good life
16. Why following God is worth it
42. For a thirsty soul
46. For one who needs a refuge
51. For a repentant heart
61. The poet’s prayer
63. For a trusting heart
71. For a restful heart in tumultuous times
84. For the homesick pilgrim
90. A contemplation on life
92. A song for the Sabbath day
98. The singer’s psalm
100. The psalm of thanksgiving
102. When everything is bad
103. When you don’t know what to be thankful for
107. For a discouraged heart
119. For love of the law
121. A song of hope
128. A family blessing
143. When you’re waiting on God for answers
May you learn how to praise God in every moment…
