Praying the Psalms: Thanksgiving and Rejoicing - Chris Frakes
from Ridgedale Students · host Ridgedale Student Ministry
Walter Wangerin once said, “Praise and thanksgiving require more than our brains. They want our laughter, our capering bodies, our trembling delight, smiles and the sweet flush of delight-and song. Praise must be sung.” This is the truth we come to in prayer; that God asks for all of us in an expression of joy. Prayer isn’t robotic. It isn’t simply us asking, or confessing, or adoring God. It’s a song our heart, mind, soul, and body sing back to God over our experience of His goodness. This is our topic for week 4 of our Praying the Psalms series.
