Psalm 16: Turning to the Psalms When Words Fail / Psalmify Week 7

 â€¢ Series: Psalmify

Renew Communications Director Marek Kowalsky continues our series Psalmify, focusing in on Psalm 16, under the title, Turning to the Psalms When Words Fail. In this exploration of the Psalms, Marek invites us to rediscover their profound relevance in our prayer lives. Just as mixtapes were once a labor of love, the Psalms are a carefully curated collection of spiritual songs that can deepen our connection with God. We're encouraged to use Psalm 16 as a guide, warming up our hearts when we're not 'feeling it,' finding prompts for prayer when we're unsure what to say, and allowing its rich language to give voice to our deepest spiritual longings. The message reminds us that prayer isn't just about words; it's about presence. David's intimate relationship with God in Psalm 16 models a form of contemplative prayer where we simply rest in God's presence, experiencing the 'fullness of joy' that comes from this deep connection.
