“The Psalms train us to pray with others who have prayed, and are praying; put our knees on the level with other bent knees; lift our hands in concert with other lifted hands; join our voices in lament and praise with other voices who weep and laugh. The primary use of prayer is not for expressing ourselves, but in becoming ourselves, and we cannot do that alone.”
—Eugene Peterson in “Answering God:
The Psalms As Tools For Prayer”
My prayer this week: Dear God, unite my heart with other believers in prayer this week. Help me reach out, lift my voice with my brothers and sisters, to join their faith with mine in seeking you.
