Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, Lex Vivendi—the way we pray, shapes the way we believe, shapes the way we live and love and become whole. Jesus, followers of Jesus, and before that, God’s covenant people, have been praying the Psalms — cumulatively, for thousands of years. The Psalms get at the heart of prayer, and are a true school of prayer to those who will enter and make these prayers their own.
The following provides a 7 day experience of praying with 7 psalms, 1 per day, for an entire week. I would encourage you to listen to the first on a Sunday, and to conclude on the following Saturday.
