The Psalms

How do you pray, Daddy? How do you answer that one as a parent? Those that go to church listen to pastoral prayers and think wow, there is no way that I can pray like that. In my opinion, prayer is a direct conversation with God. How and when you have that conversation is up to you. I think the most important aspects of prayer are frequency, sincerity and a combination of praise and "requests". How would a parent feel if their child called them only on Easter, Christmas or only when they are in trouble? The Psalms provide a prayer resource that many times we fail to utilize. As with any other desired behavior, developing a prayerful life starts with making prayer habitual. Read this book a Psalm at a time in your quiet place, reflect on the verse and the picture, read my journal entry and I hope it will provoke a conversation with our God.
