The book of Psalms is a valuable tool in our prayer lives. The psalms can make us more fluent in the language of prayer and grow in our expressions of fear and trust, praise or worry, frustration or gratitude. "The Psalms weep with those who suffer, laugh with those who celebrate, and teach all of us about the long journey of faith." (The Lutheran Study Bible's introduction to Psalms.) Join our congregation in praying Psalm 100 this week:
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with singing. Know that the Lord is God. It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name. For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
