The best gift we can receive as we’re learning how to pray is clear guidance from a person who already prays. And there is no greater expression of such prayer and spiritual mentorship than the Book of Psalms in the Old Testament.
The 150 psalms are filled with cries of lament and songs of praise. They collect and express every possible emotion of our souls. They are spontaneous, fluid, and a profound expression of the beauty and chaos of the human heart. The psalms are a rare collection of snapshots of the human psyche and its desire to see and understand God.
