Go to Praying The Psalms Application Part Three
Part 4-Here is a 4 part quote from Dr. Lynn Anderson discussing the exercise (joy) of praying through the Psalms.
Hang In There!
If you are like a lot of people, the first few attempts at praying the Psalms may seem to do nothing for you. Don’t quit. Stay with it! Trust the process. It takes awhile for the benefits to show. Just as one nutritious meal won’t make an undernourished person healthy, neither will one psalm instantly cure ’spiritual scurvy.’
Again: praying the Psalms is not merely a gimmick or a fad. Great shepherds have traveled this path across the last three thousand years. Even so, this path is not exclusively for an elite corps of contemplative souls. Anyone can walk it–including you. On this path God can awaken, refresh, broaden, and deepen your prayers.
Sure, this prayer journey calls for significant time investment. But it’s far more than worth it! Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. I do not know a single person who has followed this path who ended up disillusioned or even disappointed. God’s solution to your prayer problems may actually be this simple, this old, and this obvious.
Blessings to you on the journey.
