Psalms for the King

Bryan Fojtasek • Psalm 24

Jesus teaches us to pray for God's Kingdom to come and God's will to be done. This is an important reminder to worship God as our one true king.

Psalms of Provision

November 6, 2022

Jesus teaches us to ask God for our daily bread. Asking God for the things we need is an important part of our prayer life, but it should never be the only thing we pray about. God knows what we need and he finds joy in being our provider.

Psalms of Lament

October 23, 2022 • Bryan Fojtasek • Philippians 4:4–7, 1 Peter 5:7, Psalm 22

The largest category of Psalms in the book of Psalms is lament. God knows that we will have seasons of anxiety and adversity, and he's given us the gift of prayer so that we can move from a place of pain to a place of peace. Prayers of lament help us find that peace by reminding us what we know to be true about God: that he is good, that he is in control, and that he has a plan for our lives--even in the hard times.

Psalms of Praise

October 16, 2022 • Bryan Fojtasek • Psalm 111, Matthew 6:9–13, Ephesians 1:3

Psalm 111 calls us to live a live of praise and obedience in response to who God is and what he's done for his people. Many of the Psalms begin and end with praise, which gives us a wonderful example to follow in our own prayer lives.
