When I talk about praying the Psalms, I don’t mean randomly selecting a psalm that fits your mood—whether praise, lament, or thanksgiving. I mean beginning with Psalm 1 and praying through all 150 psalms regularly, ideally once a month. You can find a monthly reading/prayer chart online.
Here’s the idea: pick a single Bible translation you’re comfortable with and stick with it. I’ve used the New American Standard for over 30 years and memorized many psalms in that version. If you constantly switch translations, you can’t learn the words by heart.
Start with Psalm 1 and pray it aloud:
"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked..."
Then move on to Psalm 2, Psalm 3, and so on. Speak the words as prayer—not just reading them, but actually praying them to God.
Some psalms will feel natural, like Psalm 23. Others may feel foreign or even uncomfortable. That’s okay. The Psalms include prayers for every human experience, including the darkest and worst. They’re not your words—they’re God’s words given for you to pray back to him.
Over time, those unfamiliar prayers will become your own. They will shape your thoughts, your emotions, and your relationship with God.
As you pray the Psalms, you’ll also deepen your understanding of Christ, who is the true voice behind the Psalms. He prayed them, and we now join him in speaking them to the Father.
So, here’s the plan:
1) Pick a translation.
2) Follow a monthly reading chart.
3) Pray the psalms aloud every day.
This is not meaningless repetition. It’s letting God’s Word form and fill your heart so that, in every circumstance, you’ll have prayers already written on your heart.
