psalms - praying through good times and bad
DESCRIPTION
Do you ever find it difficult to know how to pray? When life is ‘up and down’, is it difficult to trust God knows what he is doing? These studies look at how God’s Old Testament people called on him in good times and bad, so today we can learn to do the same.TRANSCRIPT

Life throws all kinds of situations at us. Some days everything goes well; other days, nothing seems to go right. When we know Jesus, we have the privilege of being able to live every part of our lives in conversation with God. Whatever situation we find ourselves in, God’s people can always pray.
The book of Psalms is the longest book of the Bible, made up of 150 poems. But this isn’t just another book of poetry. As with every other book of the Bible, Psalms is about God and his relationship with his people. If you can think of a human emotion, you’ll probably find it expressed somewhere in the prayers of God’s people in the Psalms.
A lot of the psalms are prayers that people have said to God. The five psalms that we will be looking at in these studies are all about how God’s people respond to the world they live in, in the good times and the bad.
