Seminary • Psalms 61–86

A More Meaningful Prayer

The Psalms show that you can come to Heavenly Father at any time, with your real feelings, and with love, trust and praise.

Prayer is not a performance. It is a sincere conversation with a loving Father who hears you.

Start where you are

Choose the thought that is closest to what you need today. You do not need to explain your choice to anyone.

Shape your next prayer

Select one or two practices. The goal is not a longer prayer. It is a more careful and sincere one.

Choose one or two ideas for your next prayer.

Take a Selah minute

Selah may have invited readers to pause and reflect. Take one quiet minute before you pray.

1:00Selah

Be still. Remember that Heavenly Father knows and loves you.
