Praying the Psalms
The Psalms are regarded as the hymnal of the ancient Hebrew people and the "prayer book" of Jesus. Today they provide for us a rich resource for spiritual formation. As a spiritual discipline, some have found it meaningful to read the same Psalm (or portion of a Psalm) for each day for a week, meditating on the same text each day over the seven days. The following assigned lectionary readings from the Psalms cover the next few weeks:
| January 1 | Psalm 148 | |
| January 8 | Psalm 29 | |
| January 15 | Psalm 139:17 | |
| January 22 | Psalm 62:5-12 | |
| January 29 | Psalm 111 |
