Praying with the Psalms

I'm always looking for resources to renew my times of private worship, so last week I was pleased to find Eugene Peterson's Praying with the Psalms.

It provides short daily written prayers centered around the Psalms; yesterday's is especially applicable for me. Reflecting on Psalm 86:11, "give me an undivided heart to revere your name," we respond in prayer:

God, my soul feels scattered and incoherent like that poor wretch Legion ("for we are many"). Gather up my diverse needs, my conflicting desires, my jumbled identity, and make a harmonious whole of me, "give me an undivided heart to revere your name". Amen.
