A Psalm for weeping and hard times | Psalm 6 Reflection

What do you do when you’re feeling sad? How do we pray when life feels overwhelming? Can we bring our tears to God? This Psalm helps us to pray in these times.

This is part of the weekly Thought for the Week series. This series is designed to give a short, 10-minute ‘thought’, including a Bible reading and a prayer. At the moment I am working my way through the Psalms but I may take a break from them after a while and look at another part of the Bible.

How to deal with hostile people | Psalm 5 Reflection

How do you deal with people who are actively hostile to you? It’s something we in the church don’t often talk about – but we need to. I learnt this from personal experience – the Psalms helped me deal with this situation in my own life.

When troubles are overwhelming | Psalm 3 | Thought for the week

A short reflection on Psalm 3.

This week’s Thought for the Week is on Psalm 3 – a Psalm all about when our troubles and enemies seem overwhelming. One of the things I love about the Psalms is that they do not shy away from this side of life. They give us tools to be able to cope with difficulty and adversity. Psalm 3 is a good example of why I love the Psalms and why I think they should be a staple of everyone’s spiritual life.

I hope you enjoy.

New! Thought for the Week

I’ve started a new Thought for the Week feature. I will publish a video every week with a short, 10-minute reflection on a part of the Bible followed by a prayer. The idea is to help you not just understand the Bible as an intellectual exercise, but be moved by it as well. In other words, to inspire our love as well as our minds!

I’ve decided to start by working through the Psalms – which will take a while! But that’s exactly what the Psalms are there for – to help us not just understand but love.

You can get these reflections on YouTube, Facebook, or the podcast.
