Unbound & Sent | How to Pray Through Psalm 111 | Turning Scripture into Prayer
Are you feeling distant from God? Do you feel like when you sit down you don't even know what to pray or can't stay focused long enough to feel as if you are communicating with God? Psalm 111 is a beautiful reminder of who God is and what He has done—but how do we pray it? In this devotional, I demonstrate how to pray through each verse of Psalm 111 by speaking honestly with the Lord, letting Scripture guide the conversation.This is less about a formula and more about relationship—learning to slow down, listen, and respond to God as we read His Word. Whether you’re new to prayer or looking to deepen your time with God, this devotional offers a simple, biblical way forward.
