Talking to God immerses you into a new experience as you are covered over with a rich, deep tapestry, like the most beautiful woven cloth, of the vast expressions of our human need for God. The psalms express exuberant praise, worship, and adoration, but also deep guilt, anxiety, and fears. The psalms expose the happy times when we are bursting with joy, and sad times when we are crushed and canāt go on.
Every word in the Bible is Spirit-inspired, so each word in each psalm is given to us by God, greatly enriching our spiritual depth and breadth, and learning from the psalmist how to:
Wait for God
Hope in God
Pray to God
Trust in God
Serve God
Obey God
Do His will
The ten psalms explored throughout Talking to God: Psalm 23, In Godās Presence; Psalm 1, Two Ways to Live; Psalm 51, A Cry for Mercy; Psalm 84, Praying to Enjoy Godās Presence; Psalm 90, Praying Through Lifeās Struggles; Psalm 100, Rejoicing as You Enter Godās Presence; Psalm 102:1-17, Praying When Overwhelmed with Grief; Psalm 137, Praying, Crying, Singing, Dreaming; Psalm 139, Thanksgiving for Godās Presence; and Psalm 116, Rejoicing in Godās Mercy.
As you read and sing and repeat the words and music of each psalm, you discover Godās presence speaking to you, singing to you. You find yourself listening for and hearing from your heavenly Father. The ultimate result of Talking to God through psalms is enjoying intimacy with Him.
