We are all pilgrims on a journey as we walk with God and live out our faith as disciples of His Son, Jesus Christ. The Psalms of Ascent (Ps 120-134) are a wonderful gift to the Church because they allow us to pray along with the original pilgrims as they journeyed upward to Jerusalem toward their literal and spiritual goal of encountering God. As we pray through these psalms, we are encouraged to honestly express our thoughts and feelings that we experience during the highs and lows of our own spiritual pilgrimage. At the same time, we are enveloped in a sense of the Psalmists' deep trust in the faithfulness of God. It is helpful to know that we are not alone in our struggles and joys. As we immerse ourselves in the Word of God and ask him to speak to us, we are under-girded by the faith of those who have gone before us.This Prayer Guide is designed to be a practical, hands-on tool to facilitate the practice of praying with Scripture. A brief explanation of this kind of prayer is followed by a journal-style guide which gives the reader opportunity to pray with carefully selected short Scripture passages.
