SNS 89: Pain to Praise Through Prayer, Psalm 61

Can I say that I find something extraordinary in this psalm? We have all heard something about prayer, what it is, what it does, and how it works. Right? Yet, I find here an aspect of prayer rarely spoken of. Indeed, “rarely” is an understatement.

Yet, it is most profound and makes total sense when viewed in a relationship with God. Prayer elevates us from pain into peace, joy, and praise as we talk with the one we trust. Now…. Well, let’s first hear the psalm. Then we’ll chat about it.   

But, for now, my name is Charles, Charles Yerkes, and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This podcast is for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. Psalm Tuesday is a series in which we will listen to a psalm read in a manner that honors its original use in a worship service. Here in episode #89, we are listening to Psalm 61. 

So, grab yourself some coffee, and let’s get started.
