This Sunday, Pastor Rob taught on how to pray Scripture using Psalm 23. He reminded us that left on our own, our prayers tend to center on our desires rather than God’s, and that Scripture helps anchor us in His truth. He compared praying without Scripture to flying a plane without a map. He then read slowly through Psalm 23, carefully reflecting on each verse and turning it into a personal prayer. This week, we’ll put that into practice by praying through Psalm 32, another popular passage.
