Welcome back to the Summer Porch Series in Psalms. One of my favorite places is the Southern part of the United States where porches are big and wide and sitting outside is a southern past time with a big glass of sweet tea! This summer, I want you to think of us sitting on a porch in a cozy chair or swing and reading the Psalms together and talking to God through prayer. I am hoping we can slow down long enough breathe in the hallowed words he’s given to us—stopping long enough to savor them and gain courage and strength for the next moments whatever that might be. I invite you to join me each week as I read one of my favorites, sharing a little of why it is meaningful and then praying a portion of the Psalm over all of us. My prayer is when we get up from the porch we will feel renewed and refreshed. In this last episode in our Summer Porch Series in Psalm, it's time to celebrate and invite others to see what God has done in our life!  If you aren’t yet a part of the community I encourage you to join us!

It is here that David opens up his heart and asks God four times, How long, oh Lord? Maybe you have been in a circumstance that feels like it has been going on way too long and God has forgotten you. Psalm 13 reminds us that even in the depths of discouragement, we can trust in the steadfast love and faithfulness of God. And like David, He is not afraid of our tough questions.   UPCOMING EVENT: On the Road with The Godly Kings.
