Months ago we began reading a Psalm each week as part of our noon Bible Study. I am always struck by the raw emotion found in the Psalms. There are poems, songs and verses that speak to anger, pain, fear, doubt, love, joy, and every other feeling that might be possible for humans to experience. These scriptures are the writings of people’s prayers (mostly) to God that we can learn from. They can teach us how to be honest with God, and how to speak directly, even bluntly, to God (who already knows our minds and hearts anyway). Nothing is off limits to speak about with God, and the Psalms help us remember that truth.
Thank you, ancient believers, for helping us in today's world. You left us a true gift.
Blessings. And prayers.
