How long? Why is this happening? Where are you, God? For centuries, God's people have learned to go to God with their real questions, struggles, and everyday needs by reading and studying the Psalms. In this practical, gospel-rich small group study, authors Barbara Juliani and Patric Knaak guide participants in learning how the Psalms give us words to pray about the real struggles in our lives.
Faith in Christ brings us into a living relationship with God, which means we can go to God in every circumstance and with every reaction of our hearts.¿We don't need to pretend things are good when they are not, or that we are strong when we are not.¿The Psalms are God's gift to his people-his own words we can pray to strengthen our hearts and faith. ¿¿¿
This small group guide with leader's notes includes ten in-depth lessons that include discussion questions, a short article to read, and a practical application section that can be used for one-to-one discipleship, small group, or large group settings.
Psalms: Real Prayers for Real Life is part of The Gospel-Centered Life in the Bible series published in partnership with Serge. Each book in the series examines how the gospel story is revealed throughout both the Old and New Testaments.
