Psalms
Five Daily Prayers

The Method Take the day of the month and read five Psalms at 30-Psalm intervals. Day 1: Psalms 1, 31, 61, 91, 121. Day 2: Psalms 2, 32, 62, 92, 122. Start with the first psalm in the set unless one of the others is already familiar and draws you into prayer. By month's end you will have prayed through all 150 Psalms. The beauty of praying the Psalter is that God has not left us to find our own words for worship. He gave us His. Every psalm is a Spirit-breathed script for praise, lament, confession, and thanksgiving, given so that His people would never lack words worthy of His glory. I first learned of this daily approach through Donald Whitney's excellent book Praying the Bible, which I heartily recommend.

"The Psalms are the anatomy of the soul."

~ John Calvin, preface to his Commentary on the Psalms (1557)
