ENDORSEMENTS My wife and I began praying each of the Psalms, and when we got to Psalm 2 the entire reading opened up to us. We had never seen the Lord Jesus Christ in that Psalm. We shared Praying the Psalmswith a godly pastor who said, “This is magnificent!” I would beg you to pray the Psalms daily, because it will take your worship to a higher level. Doug Oldham, Gospel Singer Three gold and one platinum record awards Gospel Singer of the Year, 1974 Praying the Psalmsis a wonderful way to meet God every day in your private devotions. You cannot get closer to God than when you pray the Scriptures. Since the Book of Psalms reflects the heart of God, you will get close to His heart when you pray the Psalms. Bill Bright
