Prayers to the God of My Life: Psalms for Morning and Evening
()
About this ebook
The Psalms have long been a staple in the devotional life of religious people. Composed thousands of years ago, they bring every emotion known to humankind -- from anger to adoration -- into the presence of God.
In many monastic traditions all 150 Psalms are prayed each week. But those who live outside the cloister, even if they love the Psalms, would find such a schedule difficult to maintain. In Prayers to the God of My Life, Lisa Hamilton provides small portions for daily reading each morning and evening for 365 days of the year.
Matched both to nature's seasonal cycle of the year and the church's liturgical calendar, these Psalm fragments invite us to focus on all aspects of our relationship with God: praise, trust, fearfulness, pain, confession, thanksgiving, longing, the need for guidance, and more. A question worthy of reflection or a suggested action accompanies each selection. The Psalm translation is from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. Excellent for use as a daily devotional, a companion to fixed-hour prayer, or for use by groups.

Prayers to the God of My Life - Lisa Belcher Hamilton
JANUARY
January 1 Hope
Morning 65:12–14
You crown the year with your goodness,
and your paths overflow with plenty.
May the fields of the wilderness be rich for grazing,
and the hills be clothed with joy.
May the meadows cover themselves with flocks,
and the valleys cloak themselves with grain;
let them shout for joy and sing.
How do you hope God will crown this year with goodness?
Evening 18:29–31
You, O LORD, are my lamp;
my God, you make my darkness bright.
With you I will break down an enclosure;
with the help of my God I will scale any wall.
As for God, his ways are perfect;
the words of the LORD are tried in the fire;
he is a shield to all who trust in him.
Recall a time when God illuminated your darkness.
January 2 Praise
Morning 5:1–4
Give ear to my words, O LORD;
consider my meditation.
Hearken to my cry for help, my King and my God,
for I make my prayer to you.
In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice;
early in the morning I make my appeal and watch for you.
For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
and evil cannot dwell with you.
In what ways do you experience God differently at different times of the day?
Evening 79:13
For we are your people and the sheep of your pasture;
we will give you thanks for ever
and show forth your praise from age to
