Psalms for Prayer: A Four-Week Plan

Online Verified
Book of Psalms
The Psalms were Israel's prayer book, and they still teach us how to pray: honestly, with our whole heart. This plan reads one psalm a day for four weeks, grouped by the kind of prayer they model.

Read the psalm once to hear it, then a second time as your own prayer, out loud if you can.

Week 1 — Trust: Psalms 23, 27, 46, 91, 121, 125, 131
Week 2 — Lament: Psalms 13, 22, 42, 43, 77, 88, 130
Week 3 — Repentance and mercy: Psalms 6, 25, 32, 38, 51, 102, 143
Week 4 — Praise: Psalms 100, 103, 104, 145, 146, 148, 150

Self-paced — start whenever you like. Share the verse that carried you each week in the Scripture Study conversations in the Community.
