Psaumes 35:1

Just like the disciples who followed Jesus during his time on earth, we look to our Savior for wisdom and direction. As the disciples saw first-hand and we read in the Bible, Jesus gained strength when he spent time with the Father. So, we ask him, “Jesus, teach us to pray.” This reading plan from author Bobby Schuller shows you how to follow Jesus’ lead in “Praying the Psalms.”

You are not only fighting for your life, but also for the lives of those you care about. However, take comfort; this seven-day reading plan will reveal that you have been equipped with the greatest arsenal of weapons available—power and authority!
