Why the Praying the Psalms Bible Reading Challenge?
In Honor of Rachel’s father, this month’s challenge is Praying the Psalms.
Perhaps like me, you have been striving to embrace this season through the lens of sorrow.When I lost my mama to leukemia 20 years ago, my husband encouraged me to read the Psalms. The book of Psalms became a familiar friend, one that I would spend time with over and over again, pouring balm on my hurting heart.
When deep loss struck again and my daughter, Taylor, graduated to heaven 3 years ago, the book of Psalms became more than a familiar friend. I felt the depth of the words in my soul on a level that I can’t explain. The emotional tie grew deeper than friendship; it created a blood bond.January 2019, in the days following Taylor’s funeral, I would drop off my children at school and return home to an empty house. Sorrow would roll over my soul and I wept. I couldn’t think rationally. I found myself pouring over the psalms again, for as long as it took to gain enough strength to get up and do what I had to do next. Whether I needed to sweep the floor or write an article, I somehow could find enough clarity and strength in the psalms to get through the next moment. The next day, it all repeated. I’m still reading at least one psalm daily and imagine I will do so for the rest of my life.
I have always shared God’s Word with you from my own experiences. In my deepest pain, I’ve experienced the deepest love. The prayers in this book have been wrought in mourning and heartache.So, dear friend, let’s soak in the Scripture each day this month.

INTRODUCTION to the Challenge
Each month I host a monthly Bible reading plan and journal challenge to help our community enjoy reading God’s Word together and encourage our hearts to be faithful to Him. Together, we have completed over 35 Bible reading plans, including both annual and monthly reading challenges. I’ve developed all sorts of strategies to help us read God’s word faithfully, and there is nothing like this monthly system we are working through together.
Many readers have requested that I list our monthly resource at the beginning of this announcement post because you already know you want it and don’t need the details. So here you are! This month’s journal is available for purchase as a digital download, paperback or PRAYER CARDS to pray and display.
