It's evidence that I'm hiding His Word in my heart. I’ve really been finding the blessing in praying God’s Word. It’s evidence that I’m hiding His Word in my heart.

I think that by now you've figured out that I'm quite confused and not sure what to do or where to go. This post provided a lot of much needed guidance. I'll have to check out Moore's book. It sounds pretty helpful. Thank you for this post. I think that by now you’ve figured out that I’m quite confused and not sure what to do or where to go.

In the psalms there are some very beautiful passages to turn into prayers. I can think of so many passages in the New Testament epistles too. I'm so excited to incorporate this into my prayer life!

My family and I love to pray through a Psalm after family worship every day in much the same way you showed in your example! Dr. Donald Whitney has an excellent book, "Spiritual Disciplines," where he talks about prayer. He has a "Psalm of the Day" trick to make picking a Psalm to pray from easier. Let's say today is the fifth; to find the five Psalms, you'd add thirty to five -so the Psalms of the day are five, thirty-five, sixty-five, ninety-five, etc., and we pick one of the five to pray, each taking a verse and praying whatever comes to mind. It's something my brother Eliah (4) looks forward to every day -he loves to "pray his verse." :) Thank you again! Great post, Kaysie!
