Prayer is a distinctively human response to the difficulties and joys of life.
But in another sense, prayer is complicated. Learning to pray takes time and effort, much like going to the gym to exercise. As with a regular workout regimen, we need to develop our capacity to engage and converse with the God of the Universe. That’s why the book of Psalms is in the Bible.
This study guide focuses on leaders facing troubled times by using Psalms 138 to 145, the last series of psalms associated with ancient Israel’s King David. In these psalms, we learn to exercise our imagination and discover vocabulary for facing our most challenging leadership difficulties.
