Psalms
of the Day
150 Psalms divided by 30 days = 5 Psalms per day
Take 30 seconds or so to scan 5 Psalms and pick one to
pray through.
1. Day of the month 16th (Psalm 16 would be your first Psalm)
2. Add 30 +30
46
3. Continue up to 5
Psalms +30
76
+30
106
+30
136
So, on the 16th
the 5 Psalms would be 16, 46, 76, 106, and
136.
On the 17th, they
would be 17, 47, 77, 107, 137.
On the 29th you’ll
end up in Psalm 119, but you’ll also
want to designate it for the 31st.
THIS
ENRICHES YOUR PRAYER, and after learning this, you won’t say the same old
things about the same old things if you pray this way. You will also pray about things you have not
prayed about before.
Even better, these words you
will be praying are GOD’s WORDS!
In the Psalms, God reveals to us how He
wants us to praise Him. Here, God gives
us the words He wants us to say, sing and pray. (And He knows best what He
desires.) The Psalms are the best place to pray Scripture since they were
inspired for the purpose of being reflected back to God.
Someone once said, “There’s a Psalm for
every sigh of the soul.”
In 150 Psalms, the whole
range of human emotions is there.
