Jesus prayed the psalms

Jesus prayed the psalms

The psalms were Jesus' prayer book. He grew up with them, sang them with his disciples and prayed them on the cross: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Psalm 22) and "Into your hands I commit my spirit" (Psalm 31). Whoever prays a psalm, prays along with him.

Lament is allowed

About a third of the psalms are laments. They ask "how long?" and "why?", and sometimes no answer comes. That these words stand in the Bible says something: being honest with God is also a way of believing.

The Lord is my shepherd

Psalm 23 is the best-known song in the Bible. David was a shepherd: he looked after his sheep, went looking for them when they wandered off and protected them from wild animals. That is how God looks after you too.
