Praise the Lord!
Like last year, we want to begin this year with a focus on prayer. So, with Paul’s words in mind (”Pray on all occasions with all kinds of prayers” – Eph 6:18), we’re going to consider some of the different kinds of prayers in the Psalms. We’ll start with one of the most common – the songs of praise – and consider how these can enrich our prayer lives, both as individuals and as a community. Because when we read through all the praise contained in the Psalms, we start to see that it is of great benefit. Ultimately to God, yes, but also to ourselves, to each other, and to the world. Praise is about glorifying God, reassuring ourselves, encouraging each other, and witnessing to the world.
