“Prayer” in the Book of Psalms
31 times in the Book of Psalms is the word “Prayer” found. That is enough times to read a new verse about “prayer” every day for a month! Sometimes it is found in the chapter heading. At other times it is in the text of the psalm. As you read through these words of Scripture today – take time to pray. Let’s seek the God of the Bible in a personal way and bring the requests and desires of our hearts to Him. The needs of this hour are great – and we have a great God Who can hear our calling to Him in prayer.
Blessings to you in these moments of prayer…
