We've talked about praying through Scripture in my personal spiritual disciplines class the other day. Dr. Whitney encouraged us to pray through a Psalm each day. You don't have to get through the whole Psalm, but if you do and you want to keep going all you have to do is keep flipping pages. He said to just go line by line and pray anything that comes to mind. It gives a whole new depth to prayer. To choose a Psalm to pray through he gave us a method where you look through 5 Psalms and choose one to pray through. To get these 5 Psalms you start with what day it is and add 30 to that number. So today is the 27th so the Psalms would be 27, 57, 87, 117, 147. Dr. Whitney said it's uncanny how one of those Psalms will be just what you need that day and I can testify tonight that he is right. Psalm 147:3-5 really stood out to me tonight.

"He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their names.
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure."

Those verses are just so fitting for me right now. I've been experiencing a broken heart. It's rough, but it is wonderful to know that the God who numbered the stars and gave them their names, cares about me, and that his understanding is beyond my measure. Wow. Great is the Lord is right. -Allison-
