Talking to God Using Ten Psalms

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 can't 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
