In Times of Need, Read the Psalms!

The Book of Psalms is one of the greatest books of the entire inspired Scripture. It is the book of human emotions. Every experience of man is reflected in this book regardless of the occasion, emotion or mood. If one will identify his or her mood accurately and sincerely, there is a Psalm that will reflect that mood. For example:

If you are afraid, read Psalms 56, 91 and 23.

If you are discouraged, read Psalm 42.

If you are lonely, read Psalms 71 and 62.

If you are burdened or oppressed with the problem of sin, read Psalms 51 and 32.

If you are worried or anxious, read Psalms 37 and 73.

If you are angry, read Psalms 58 and 13.

If you are resentful, read Psalms 97 and 77.

If you are happy and want words to express it, read Psalms 92 and 66.

If you are feeling forsaken or abandoned, read Psalm 88.

If you are grateful and need expressions of appreciation, read Psalm 40.

If you are doubtful and your faith is weak, read Psalm 119.

There is a Psalm that will reflect your mood and mine. Therefore, the Psalms address the human heart.
