| Theme Introduction |
 |
I don't consider myself much of a "prayer practitioner" when it comes to praying the Psalms. In fact, I put off writing this theme introduction for weeks because I kept thinking, Uh-oh, what am I going to say? I'm really not very good at praying the Psalms. People are going to figure that out!
