Psalms revisited…
So in January 2008 I decided to read a psalm a day in order to teach myself to pray, and to pray more regularly… [This Post]
Well… you will notice that the “psalms” category on the right has only 4 posts… in fact I only did Psalm 1 and 2 before I fell off the wagon…
Where was the accountability eh people?!
Well, I’m starting again. I always love the Psalms, and given that I’ve been doing the Psalms course at college with Andy Stirrup I’m enthused once again to regularly reflect on a psalm daily in order to pray more godly prayers and be more prayerful.
Maybe you could take up the challenge with me? And you fellow bloggers out there might like to blog your reflections too.
This is the structure that I’m going for as i reflect on the psalms:
- What type of psalm do I think this is?
- What particularly connects with me in this psalm?(What does this psalm do to me? How does it make me feel?)
- How does the imagery help me express myself to God?
- In what situations would I find this psalm as a useful prayer?
Here is a psalm chart I made some time ago to help me think about the different types of psalms. I’ve been updating it as I go, so it’s a work in progress. If you find it useful and want to start from scratch with a blank chart, use this one.

I still love that image of the guy face down in prayer.
Good plan, by the way. I will try to read through some Psalms also.
