Walking in the Psalms: Psalm 34

Eugene Peterson wrote, "Most Christians for most of the Christian centuries have learned to pray by praying the Psalms. The Hebrews, with several centuries of a head start on us in matters of prayer and worship, provided us with this prayer book that gives us a language adequate for responding to the God who speaks to us." In this series, we will consider how the Psalms teach us to worship and pray. The Psalms are a rich array of reflections on God's character, power, love, and activity in the world. They are also reflections of what it means for us to know, trust, and follow God. Written within the collection of Psalms, are words of praise, cries of help, expressions of anguish and of joy. How do we see our lives reflected in the words of the Psalms? How do the Psalms lead us to a deeper understanding of God enriching our worship of Him? How do the Psalms inform and guide us as we pray? This Week, Erin Lonard explores the themes of Psalm 34. Note: The Practice for this week included a community conversation.
