<![CDATA[Praying Scripture]]>Mon, 16 Jan 2023 15:21:44 +0000Captivate.fmMichelle Berkeyhttps://artwork.captivate.fm/525e8305-36ca-4aa2-8939-6eef488eca04/HBsDEONDN52yLV3lKtp4oY0z.jpgPraying ScriptureMichelle BerkeyMichelle BerkeyI was a long time into my life as a Christ-follower. Years. Maybe even decades-old as a believer before I began the practice of praying scripture, before I’d even heard of it. I’ve done fancy prayer journals, simple prayers, organized and led three-day fasting and prayer events, and church prayer retreats. I’ve read countless books on prayer. But, other than simply sitting in the presence of God and feeling loved on, praying scripture is my favorite type of prayer. Praying using the words of God is simple and helps keep our hearts and mind focused during prayer (hello, who else has trouble staying on task in prayer?). It gives us confidence that our words are based in truth and aligns our perspective with God’s. This show is about learning by doing. I won't be teaching, I'll actually be praying and we record the episodes live each weekday on Facebook. In every episode, we pray through four topics: worship, a psalm, prayer for ourselves, and prayer for our culture. My heart is that as we pray scripture together, that we’ll grow in our prayer lives, that God will use this time to direct our hearts in our own circumstances, and that he’ll answer these prayers in mighty ways. But most of all, I hope that by joining me in praying scripture, you’ll fall deeper in love with the God who gave us these words. Get comfy and let’s get started!

We’re going to step inside the Psalms in this series and meet Jesus there.

Personal Update:

Ever have “one fo those days?” Well, last week I had 7 of them! It seemed as if nothing went right. And I started to let my circumstances influence how I felt about myself. But our circumstances don’t define us, God does. 

About Prayer

The fact that God wants us to talk to him, that he listens and responds…that should spark awe in us and bring forth worship.

Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses

Worship:  1 John 4:10 & Romans 8:35, 38-39

Prayer:  Psalm 132:11-12 & Matthew 22:41-46

They are meant to remind us how to live by grace rather than performance.” - Justin Ariel Bailey

Today we’re praying about what we pursue and how we pursue it.

Personal Update:

Last week, we spent a day sorting through the belongings of my ex-husband after his death.It was a difficult, sweaty job and it really got me thinking about the “stuff” I have accumulated over the years. About the story my possessions would tell if a stranger were going through them.

Our lives and our relationships all experience “seasons.” Let’s talk about what that means for our prayer lives.

Unless you're busy measuring what's easy to measure as opposed to what's important.” He wasn’t talking about spiritual things. But he was talking about the results of measuring the wrong things and the importance of measuring the important things. Exactly what we’re going to pray about today.

Personal Update:

We have a new family member in the house, my mom got a dog! And, oh boy, had we forgotten what it’s like to have a toddler, I mean, puppy, around!

About Prayer

We’ve been talking about our postures in prayer, how we use our body to communicate. Today we’re going to look at a related topic: how we use our voice. How can we bring our full selves to prayer in an emotionally authentic way?

But I thought this was interesting: Kevin Spacey said, “Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.”

Success is something that isolates us, he says. It separates us from all the things that really matter - community. Not a common perspective but interesting as we’re talking today about the kind of success we chase after.

Personal Update:

A late-night rescue of my teenage son reminds me of the importance of gratitude in all circumstances.

About Prayer

You were probably familiar with the other prayer postures we’ve talked about in previous episodes, but this week we’re going to talk about one less familiar–lying prostrate before God.

Right now I have too many utensils and I have two canisters near my oven. One of them is simply a bronze metal one. The other I ran across about 5 years ago and it screamed at me from the shelf, “Take me home with you.” So, I did.

It’s white ceramic with text on it that says, “Measure your life in love.” And that’s what we’re going to explore in this new series. How do we measure our lives? What is success?

A month or two ago, I promised a periodic studio update, so today I let you know what’s been happening with my creative practice.

About Prayer

Are you someone who “talks with your hands”? Hands are an expressive part of all conversations and we talk about what to do with them in prayer.

They just see three or four years down the road.” Now, if I asked you to think about where you’ll be in 5 years, you most likely consider that to be big picture thinking. But that quote shifts our perspective.

We need to draw back from the immediacy of the every day and think longer term at times. And as we look at scripture, we need to keep in mind the big picture too, not only thinking verse by verse. So that’s what we’re doing today, looking at a few big picture themes from the book of Esther.

Personal Update:

I spent part of my Saturday working on a quilt project for a friend. I finished a handful of blocks, but it was a struggle. I spent much of the work time unpicking and re-making. It was a reminder about why process is as or more important than product.


About Prayer

The way we teach and talk about prayer often puts it squarely in the “obligation” category. It becomes a to do list item to check off, something we develop elaborate systems or routines to maintain, or something to feel guilty about. Is prayer an obligation? Speaking to the ones we love happens naturally and so should talking to God. Sometimes we schedule important conversations, but that’s the exception rather than the rule. How does this apply to your prayer life.

About Prayer

Boredom and a lack of focus are often listed as common struggles in our modern-day prayer lives.

Personal Update

There are times in our lives when we need to reevaluate our won mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual capacities. In those times, pay close attention to what your body, mind, and spirit need and do what you need to do to be healthy.

The words we use in prayer should be respectful and reverent, but also authentic and honest. God is more concerned with the state of our heart than the formality or form of our speech.

So, I got a crash course in Chemistry yesterday. He was explaining solutions to me and said, I’m going to give you the basics like we learned in middle school, but then I’ll tell you why that’s not exactly true.


That’s the way I feel about the book of Esther. We learn one fact from the book–particularly if we’ve grown up in the church and the fact we learned is probably sort of right, plus there’s So much more to it. So, I’m excited to dig into this book with you this month!


Personal Update

Is there something God has called you to, whispered you toward, or keeps pulling you back to? Something that you need to pay attention to and obey? For me that thing is art. A trip last week to a quilt show reminded me of that calling.


About Prayer

We kick off this new segment with a question: How does your prayer life indicate what you believe about prayer? About God? And about your relationship?


Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses

Worship:  Matthew 19:26

Prayer: Esther 1:1-8, Esther 2:1-4 and 12-14

For those of you who don’t know, jicama is a root vegetable that has been said to taste like a cross between an apple, a potato, a water chestnut, and a pear.

Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort. Waiting for God means, first, activity under command; second, readiness for any new command that may come; third, the ability to do nothing until the command is given.” that’s a quote from G. Campbell Morgan

We think of waiting as a time of doing nothing, as wasted time. But as this quote and an army of coffee mugs across the world tell us, waiting is not wasted time.

“God is working while we’re waiting,” say the coffee mugs. And I’m certain he is. But waiting isn’t the passive experience we think it to be. God is not the only one “doing” while we wait. At least he shouldn’t be.

He cares about both what we do while we wait and how we do it.

Franklin gave us lots of non-Biblical proverbs like this. A proverb is just a short, memorable saying that speaks of general truth. 

This proverb tells us that planning is really important when we’re talking about stewarding our time with intention for God’s purposes.


Franklin has also been quoted as saying, “Well done is better than well said.”  Planning without action Is useless, we need both. So we’re going to pray about both this morning

Gratitude is fundamentally about not taking things for granted. It is being thankful for what we have and receive. Thankfulness is a powerful means of drawing near to God...As Christians, we have a double benefit from gratitude. Firstly, research shows that gratitude makes us happier even if we aren’t Christians, but secondly, as Christians, gratitude strengthens our relationship with God.”

That’s a quote from Lindy Pegler and as we wrap up our series on gratitude we’re reminding ourselves today about just how important this practice is and praying for it to become a lifestyle.

]]>“Gratitude is a special gift given to us by God. Gratitude is fundamentally about not taking things for granted. It is being thankful for what we have and receive. Thankfulness is a powerful means of drawing near to God...As Christians, we have a double benefit from gratitude. Firstly, research shows that gratitude makes us happier even if we aren’t Christians, but secondly, as Christians, gratitude strengthens our relationship with God.”

That’s a quote from Lindy Pegler and as we wrap up our series on gratitude we’re reminding ourselves today about just how important this practice is and praying for it to become a lifestyle.

Even in that hard place — and especially there — the Lord is with us; our Shepherd has gone before us and opened up the way for us to follow. Jesus said, ‘I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.’ (John 10:11, 27-28)” -- Robert Emberley

]]>We love the fact that God is a God of mercy and this week we’re celebrating that. We’re also for ourselves, that we would be rid of any love of money. There’s nothing wrong with money itself, but as believers, we need to guard against the love of money. 

There’s so much going on in our world, so many heavy, scary, difficult things for so many people. From COVID-19 to the California fires, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. So, we’re praying about how to handle that this week in our culture portion of the broadcast.


Plus, since this morning’s landfall of Hurricane Laura has caused widespread destruction along the gulf coast and inland, we’re praying for that as well.


Join me to pray the words of scripture back to God to honor him and talk to him about ourselves and our world. We’re using the Bible both as our actual prayers and also to prompt our prayers.
