Spend a week with this prayer

As I take another day to pray with the Church, my calendar brought me to Psalm 11 another Hebrew prayer poem full of encouragement.
For me, I needed to clarify one word to help make this prayer my own.
You may want to read Psalm 11 before you continue this article and start meditating on this prayer for yourself. I hope by praying this Psalm you find encouragement and maybe even some new healthy habits to establish in your own life.
The heart of this prayer (Psalm 11:4 NIV) reveals God still resides on His throne. Even when I undergo stress, Psalm 11 calms me, letting me know God has not gone anywhere.
God’s beautiful invitation to us all
Dale McCamish - Contributing columnist
I often say a prayer of adoration, confession, asking, and thanksgiving using the words of Psalms. This type of prayer helps me understand God more intimately, and over time has changed my character.
While practicing this prayer pattern recently, I realized I didn’t understand the heart of Psalm 87, verse four, enough to use it as a prayer. I was reminded of God’s beautiful invitation when I came to an understanding of Psalm 87:4.
Verse four reads like this: “I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”
