Using the book of Psalms to help me pray and see God.
Pinned
The Bible's book of Psalms was put together by a people in exile.

Their homes and ways of life stripped away - where could they find God away from the temple?

The Psalms were their gateway to encounter with God, and connecting to their story and greater purpose.

Join in.

God, forgive me when I put other things in your place.
Show me the idols in my life - the empty pursuits and well-intentioned goals - that draw me away from Your goodness and glory 🙏 #prayer
